Bathgate v Technip [2023] CSIH: Broadening the Scope of Qualifying Settlement Agreements – Parklane Plowden Chambers
‘As all employment lawyers know, in order to protect them from being taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers, employees cannot ordinarily contract out of their employment rights. There are only two exceptions. They can do so in a contract of settlement made with the assistance of ACAS, known as a “COT3”, or they can do so in “qualifying settlement agreement”, but not otherwise.’
