Professer Otte Kehn-Freund, professor of law at the University of Lendon (L.S.£.), writing in the April issue ef Jeurnal of General Federation ef Trade Uniens, warna that after July 6th etrikera whe de not give one week's notice of the intention to strike gay face the threat of damages. Prefessor Xahn-Freund, who is considered to be one of Britain's leading industrial law experts, came this conclusien after making a detailed atudy of the Reokee v. Barnard High Court Judgment. He says: “en July 6th, 1964, the Contracts ef Employment Act, 1963, will begin te operate, and by the terms of the Act, everyone whe has been in the employment of the same empleyer fer 26 weeks or more must give at least ene week's netice of termination of centract, After that date, and tf Reokea v. Barnard is allowed te stand, the threat ef damages will hang ever all these whe strike even fer a day witheut giving a week's notice..." Later in the article he expresses the opinien that the right te strike can now enly be restored by legislation, and that "it would probably have ‘te censist in a very shert statute amending the relevant sectiens of the 1906 Act s@ as to make it clear that intimidation, except by a threat of physical violence is not actionable if done in contemplation ef further-ance of a trade diepute.”
