Records of Settlement in employment cases

Employment lawyer Charles McGuinness joins Kathryn to look at issues arising out of a case due to be heard before the Supreme Court that focuses on capacity to settle using a Record of Settlement (RoS) in an employment dispute. It involves an employee who'd been away from work for about a year with anxiety and depression, which her employer knew about, and the RoS she signed with the employer but then tried to overturn, arguing she was mentally incapacitated when she signed it. Charles will also look at why a Massachusetts Appeals Court has refused to use the term "grandfathering" - judging it to be a racist term.
