The Employment Appeal Tribunal has held that the lack of contractual continuity when a teacher was engaged on a new fixed-term contract each semester, with gaps between semesters when he was not engaged at all, did not preclude a finding that the application of the same working arrangements across the separate contracts amounted to a series of similar acts.
