Apologies - this is not a blog of homage to the late great George Michael but rather a shameless use of his timeless album title to encourage you to listen to our latest podcast: 'Without prejudice' unpacked. Forgive me George!  

My colleague, Katherine Sinclair (legal director) and I discuss the recent Employment Appeal Tribunal case of Garrod v Riverstone Management Ltd. The case offered some useful guidance on 'without prejudice' discussions; something rarely debated in the tribunals and yet used so regularly in practice. We discuss questions such as:

• What elements of a discussion make it without prejudice?
• When does without prejudice fall away?
• How does that fit with protected conversations?
• What are the practical considerations?
• How do you best prepare for these scenarios?

We talk through the case, raise the takeaway points and demonstrate how these apply in practice.
