Training-cost repayment dispute gets Supreme Court hearing permission

The UK Supreme Court granted Geeks permission to appeal on 29 October in a dispute about repayment of training costs after an employee leaves. Lanza first recorded the listing on 3 November; that discovery date is not the date of the permission decision.

The official case summary describes a training debt that could be written off through continued work, with repayment of an outstanding balance after early departure. The employee resisted recovery as an unlawful restraint of trade. The summary records the employer succeeding initially, before the Court of Appeal found the challenged terms unjustified.

Permission lets the employer pursue the Supreme Court appeal. It does not resolve whether the terms are enforceable. The live page checked for this preview shows no merits judgment or hearing date.
