Cavanagh and Others v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions: QBD 13 May 2016

Part 8 claim brought against the Defendant by two of its employees, Mr Cavanagh and Ms Williams, and by their trade union, the Public and Commercial Services Union. The main issues were whether, the Claimants having opted to have their subscriptions to the PCS deducted from their salary and paid by the Defendant to the PCS, had a contractual right to insist that the Defendant continue with that arrangement, and whether, if they had, the PCS, which was not a party to their contracts of employment, could enforce that right under the 1999 Act.
