This week, we review the employment law themes contained in the 1993 film, Jurassic Park. Billionaire John Hammond won’t give Dennis Nedry, brilliant computer programmer, a raise, nor will Hammond discuss the matter with him. Despite the fact that lots of people die, as a direct result of Nedry’s actions, Simon argues that Nedry was the real hero of Jurassic Park with Hammond’s greed being the villain... Jack assesses whether Nedry was self-employed or an employee. And they both dispense legal advice to Nedry re grievances, discrimination and subject access requests. Warning… there is a fairly poor impression of John Hammond at the start of this episode but it’s over within the first ten seconds.
