England & Wales: Case Law: Corporate group: liability towards employee

In David Newton-Sealey v Armorgroup Services Ltd. [2008] EWHC 233 (QB), at issue was the potential liability of corporate group members towards an employee of one of the group companies. The employee had a contract with one of the group companies based in Jersey but the companies were run as a group, and distinctions between them were often blurred. Cranston J. held that there was a real prospect of the employee establishing that the other group members owed him a duty of care.
