System Floors (UK) Ltd v Daniel: EAT 14 Oct 1981

Browne-Wilkinson J discussed the status of the statement of main terms of employment: ‘It provides very strong prima facie evidence of what were the terms of the contract between the parties but does not constitute a written contract between the parties. Nor are the statements of the terms finally conclusive: at most they place a heavy burden on the employer to show that the actual terms of contract are different from those he has set out in the statutory statement.’
