A - Adoption of contracts
6/5/20
RE DEBENHAMS RETAIL LTD [2020] EWCA Civ 600
Summarises the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme [16]. Considers the effect of adoption of employment contracts by administrators [28] and the meaning of adoption [32]. Whether there has been adoption is a wholly objective question [53]. By paying sums to employees furloughed under the scheme, the administrators had adopted the contracts of those employees.
