Department for Transport v Sparks and Others: CA 14 Apr 2016

Appeal by the Department for Transport from a judgment making declarations that certain terms, identified in a schedule to the order, were terms of the contracts of employment between the Department and the respondents.
Held: The employer’s appeal failed. After reviewing the tests for such incorporation, the court noted that the wording of the handbook had a distinct flavour of having been intended to be incorporated.
