    Not rights under the Working Time Directive you don't! Holidays are a legal entitlement and a claim can be made if the employer breaches the law at any point, even before a year. Although as Googlewhacker has astutely observed, with less than 12 months employment being mute may be a more reliable way of staying in employment.

    But we aren't 100% sure of what is happening here - the OP isn't clear

    Ah...I never actually realised there were two spellings for Moot/Mute. I actually meant Moot over Mute.

    Moot actually dervies from the Anglo-Saxon and is the word used to describe the earliest forms of court / governance - a place where people debated rights and wrong and made decisions about matters. The moot courts are very familiar to lawyers - it's where we all cut out teeth. They are mocked up courts to practice the skills we need for real courtrooms.

    Mind you these days, many years on from our training, we usually call it "dinner with colleagues" :)

    I thought the correct legal phrase was "a right good ^%$£ up"?
