Examines the transformative effect of the internet and social media on the employment relationship, and how this presents new challenges for lawmakers and the courts alike.
The authors examine the theoretical and legal frameworks which underpin privacy, data protection, free speech, and property rights and interests. The authors apply these principles to the challenges presented by internet speech, with particular emphasis on the employment relationship.
The book spans the pre-employment stage of recruitment, the period of the employment contract itself, and the post-employment phase dealing with such issues as defamation, privacy and surveillance, cyber bullying and harassment, damage to business reputation, theft of confidential business information and the remedies available when breaches of rights occur.
Key features
"The book is truly comprehensive in its scope. It touches on those areas where attempts, whether successful or not, have been made to adapt existing law to the cyber world. It also deals with many of the problems which are largely a creation of that world such as cyber bullying and trolling. The careful analysis conducted in respect of all of these areas perhaps demonstrates, at the big picture level, the problems with which we are all confronted in handling the new normal."
Judge Frank Clarke, Supreme Court, Republic of Ireland, Foreword to Cyber Law and Employment.
This text provides a comprehensive, practitioner-focused analysis of the law of negligence in Ireland, with comparative relevance to England and Wales. It begins by examining the foundational elements of negligence, including duty of care, standard of care, breach, causation, remoteness, defences, and damages, grounding each topic in Irish case law while situating it within broader common law developments. Building on these core principles, the book addresses complex and evolving areas of negligence law, including economic loss, psychiatric harm, contributory negligence, statutory negligence, and strict or absolute liability. It examines how negligence interacts with statutory duties, constitutional and human rights norms, and regulatory regimes, with particular attention to environmental damage, data protection, and state liability. Detailed consideration is given to procedural and remedial issues, such as burden and standard of proof, limitation periods, apportionment of liability between concurrent wrongdoers, and the full range of damages available in negligence claims, as well as the growing role of settlement and alternative dispute resolution. The later sections adopt a forward-looking and comparative perspective, analysing negligence in emerging and high-risk contexts. The book also explores the boundaries between civil and criminal negligence, including gross negligence manslaughter, and considers negligence within governmental schemes and public policy frameworks. Overall, the book is designed to function both as an authoritative reference for practitioners and institutions and as a structured, practice-oriented resource for students and trainees.
