This book is a good introduction to the subject of hospitality law. It is primarily based on law in the United Kingdom, but has a very valid introduction to law in general, including employment law, and European directives and regulations.

The Working Time Directive
In this feature we take a look at the European Union's Directive on Working Time and see how it affects the working patterns and conditions of employees in the hotel and catering industry.

In this short feature we try to determine what may justify the dismissal of an employee from his place of work.

The timeshare industry will now be regulated by new regulations aimed at increasing consumer protection.
