Torquay Hotels Ltd V Cousins
''Torquay Hotel Co Ltd v Cousins'' 968EWCA Civ 2 (BAILIIis a UK labour law case concerning the liability of a union when its members take industrial action. In it Lord Denning MR invented a new economic tort for interference with a contract. This was not there before, because economic torts had only existed where the result of some action was unlawful, for instance the ''breach'' of a contract, intimidation (see '' Tarleton v McGawley'' (1793) 1 Peake 270) or conspiracy to injure. The House of Lords has subsequently rejected the existence of a separate tort for interference with a contract which can be constituted without unlawful actions or without a contractual breach.see also now, ''OBG Ltd v Allan'' 007UKHL 21 [20072 WLR 920 Facts Torquay Hotel Co Ltd had a contract for the supply of oil from Esso Petroleum Co Ltd.

Trade Union Act 1906
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products ...

It is notable as Lord Denning MR said the following: Facts The Port of London Authority negotiated with a single union. Morgan, a lockman, was a member of a breakaway union. The first union threatened to strike unless the breakaway union members were dismissed, Fry arguing it was a genuine threat to industrial peace.

Judgment Lord Denning MR held that if proper notice, the length of time to terminate a contract, was given then a strike was lawful, and because the strike was lawful there was no tort of intimidation. The defendants’ honest belief they were acting in the interests of the union negatived any allegation of conspiracy. Lord Denning MR said the following.9682 QB 710, 724-5 Davies LJ, agreeing with Lord Denning MR, said ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
