UOLLB Employment Law

I opine that the UOLLB Employment Law notes are an excellent work for all intending users.
I purchased the set of "Al 26 UOLLB Notes in October,2023" for my daughter who is a student at UWE Bristol.These notes have greatly helped her in her 1st Year Studies.As I said last year, the UOLLB Notes are a great resource not only to students of law but law practitioners as well as they are a very handy source of legal knowledge even for subjects one did not or is not studying.

I will send you the email where you sent me already downloaded notes.Can I benefit from the offer to upgrade these notes with the 2024 revised version thereof ?
