Employers that follow employment law cases (like the ones I send out from time to time) were a tad concerned about the common law notice period being extended from 2 to 3 years maximum after this case.  The recent appeal has reduced that judgement to 2 years max. except for really exceptional cases.  Employers may still find hardship in paying the 2 years notice, but can rest a bit easier knowing it’s not 50% more.

Court of Appeal Confirms: Reasonable Notice Is Capped At 24 Months, Absent Exceptional Circumstances
