London-based law firm CM Murray is warning clients of the changes which sees the Brussels Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 replace that of (EU) 44/2001, making important changes on jurisdictional issues. The firm says: 'Whilst the jurisdictional aspects pertaining to employment are similar to the existing Regulation, the recast Regulation contains important changes for non-EU employers, including the extension of the right of employees to sue non-EU employers in the court of a Member State. This right will apply even if the employer has no place of business, branch or agency in the EU.'
