Bar Council - Employment Law Conference 2010


The Industrial Court Practice Committee of the Bar Council will hold its Biennial Conference on 27 & 28 January 2010 at the Prince Hotel & Residence, Kuala Lumpur.

The Conference, with the theme "Employment Law in the 21st Century: Challenges and New Horizons", will cover a whole host of contemporary Employment Law issues. The Organising Committee will invite the Honourable Minister of Human Resources to deliver the keynote address. Prominent local and foreign speakers will be invited to speak on interesting topics, such as "The Frontiers of Labour Law Today (What's new in the Labour Law?)", "Industrial Adjudication - Reforms and the Future of Industrial Tribunals", "The Changing Face of Trade Unionism in the 21st Century" and "Terms and Conditions of Service - The Protection of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets". The participation of foreign speakers (from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and India) will provide a useful comparative study of these important topics. There will also be a special address entitled "The Industrial Relations Act 1967 - Past, Present and the Future" by a senior member of the Judiciary.

The biennial Employment Law Conference of the Industrial Court Practice Committee of the Bar Council has historically been well-received and well-attended. It has been a gathering of the various stakeholders in this specialised area of the law. The Organising Committee is working hard towards ensuring that this Conference maintains, and even surpasses the standards achieved in the previous conferences. Thus, it is a Conference that should not be missed by anybody who has an interest in Employment Law or is a stakeholder in the various facets of the practice and administration of Employment Law in Malaysia.
