FREE tickets to see Pleasure at the Lyric Wednesday 11th May

lyric

Free tickets to see Pleasure at the Lyric Hammersmith on Wednesday 11th May at 7.30pm

Up to 10 tickets per community group are available. Tickets will be distributed on a first come first serve basis

Val works the toilets in Pleasure, a hedonistic gay club in the north of England. For years, she has been a shoulder to cry on and a confidante – much loved but viewed as an enigma. Why is she still there? Why does she never leave? When a young man, both beautiful and unpredictable, arrives from the city and leaves a gift for Val – performed in this premiere production by the well-known British soprano Lesley Garrett – it marks the start of a passionate and violent night.

Born in Liverpool in 1988, composer Mark Simpson won BBC Young Musician of the Year as a clarinettist in 2006 and also, that same year, received the accolade of BBC Young Composer of the Year – the only individual to have won both competitions. In 2010 he won the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Award, and he has a growing catalogue of works to his credit, including his orchestral scores A Mirror Fragment and Threads (both 2008) as well as sparks (2012), which have all been well received. Most recently his oratorio The Immortal was performed to acclaim at the Manchester International Festival. Here he turns to opera for the first time; his librettist is long-time collaborator Melanie Challenger, whose poetry and prose have been widely admired.

Contains themes of an adult nature.

Extension of Shared Parental Leave and Pay to grandparents

In October 2015, in acknowledging the role played by grandparents in the support and provision of childcare to working families, the Chancellor announced that shared parental leave and pay will be extended to working grandparents. The fine detail of the proposal is still being worked out but the consultation on how Shared Parental Leave and Pay will be extended to working grandparents is expected to be published in May 2016 as announced in the Chancellors most recent Budget.

The consultation will also cover ways of streamlining the Shared Parental Leave and Pay system, including eligibility requirements and notification systems.

When is an employer vicariously liable for the actions of its employees?

Legal Services

When is an employer vicariously liable for the actions of its employees?

In two recent cases, the Supreme Court has considered the test for vicarious liability in employment and employment-like relationships to determine when an employer is liable for the acts of its employees.

In Mohamud v WM Morrison Supermarkets plc, a customer had been subjected to a serious assault and racial abuse by the employee in his working hours and on company premises. The customer brought a claim in the County Court against Morrison’s which they contested, arguing that their employee was not acting on their behalf when the customer was assaulted. However, the Supreme Court disagreed.
