The claimant had been entitled to parental leave. He had complained that he had not been allowed to take a day’s leave to look after his child. The employer said that the regulations only allowed a minimum of one week’s leave to be taken at a time.
Held: The Regulations provided for default provisions to apply in default of a workplace agreement. Those regulations said that only a week’s leave was permissible unless the employee was entitled to disability living allowance. The reading which required no less that a week’s leave to be taken made practical sense. The appeal failed.
