  • Simone Weil: an Anthology
    PENGUIN � CLASSICS SIMONE WElL : AN AN THOL OGY SIMONE WElL (1909-1 943) is one of the most important thinkers of the modern period. The distinctive feature of her work is the indissoluble link she makes between the theory and practice of both politics and religion and her translation of thought into action . A brilliant philosopher and mathematician, her life rep­ resents a quest for justice and balance in both the academic and the practical spheres. A scholar of deep and wide erudition, she became during the thirties an inspired teacher and activist. So as to experience physical labour at first hand, she spent almost two years as a car factory worker soon after the Front Populaire and later became a fighterin the Spanish Civil War. When her home city of Paris was occupied, she joined the Resistance in the South of France and became for a time an agricultural labourer before acceding to her parents' wish to escape Nazi persecution of the Jews by fleeing to New York. Leaving America, she joined the Free French in London where, frustrated by the exclusively intellectual nature of the work delegated to her, and weakened by a number of physical and emotional factors, she contracted tuberculosis and died in a Kentish sanatorium at the age of thirty-four. The bulk of her voluminous oeuvre was published posthumously. SIAN MILES was born and brought up in the bi-cultural atmos­ phere of Wales and educated there and in France where she has lived for many years. She has taught at a number of universities worldwide, including Tufts University, Massachusetts, Dakar University, Senegal and York University, Toronto.

  • Response to Impact Assessment of Policy Option 1: Require All Claims to Be Submitted to ACAS in the First Instance
    Resolving Workplace Disputes: Response of the Employment Lawyers Association to a Consultation by the Department for Business Innovations & Skills – April 2011 i. The Employment Lawyers Association (“ELA”) is an unaffiliated group of specialists in employment law including those who represent both employers and employees. It is not our role to comment on the political merits or otherwise of proposed legislation; rather we make observations from a legal standpoint. ii. ELA’s Policy and Legislative Committee consists of barristers and solicitors (both in private practice and in-house) who meet regularly for a number of purposes, including considering and responding to proposed new laws. iii. We set up a working group under the Chairmanship of Richard Fox (Kingsley Napley) to consider and comment on the Consultation Paper “Resolving Workplace Disputes” released by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (“BIS”) in January 2011. iv. We organised ourselves into 5 subgroups as follows: Group 1 – Chair: Peter Frost (Herbert Smith) Mediation – Questions 1 to 7; Compromise Agreements – Questions 8 to 11; Early Conciliation – Questions 12 to 20; Further information – Question 24; Initial statement of loss – Questions 34 to 41 Group 2 – Chair: Stephen Levinson (RadcliffeLeBrasseur) Strike out – Questions 21 to 23; Deposit Orders – Questions 25 to 29; Calderbank Orders – Questions 42 to 44; Costs cap – Questions 30 to 33; Entitlement to expenses – Questions 49 to 51 Group 3 – Chair: Robert Davies (Dundas & Wilson) Witness statement procedure
