ECJ 12 May 2021, Case C-202/20 P (Necci / Commission), Miscellaneous

Claudio Necci – v – European Commission, EU case

2021/8 High Court rules that ‘workers’ should be protected from health and safety detriment (UK)

The UK failed properly to implement EU health and safety law by restricting protection from detriment on health and safety grounds to ‘employees’, the High Court (HC) ruled in a recent case. Such protection should be extended to the broader category of ‘workers’. Importantly, this ruling potentially increases employers’ exposure to Covid-19-related health and safety claims.
