Coram: Birtles J
Ratio: EAT Contract of Employment : Implied Term or Variation or Construction of Term
The Employment Judge was wrong to construe a teacher’s contract of employment by importing practice from public sector teachers’ contracts when the relevant contractual terms were clear that the School term ended on 8 July 2011 and not (as the Claimant contended) 31 August 2011. Neither could the contractual provisions about holiday pay assist in finding the end of term date.
