The British reference (now known as Stringer and others v Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs C - 520 / 06) is essentially about two questions: whether a worker can re-designate a period of sick leave as holiday leave, and how payment in lieu of untaken holiday leave should be calculated for workers who have been off sick for all or part of the holiday year.

CIPFA technical manager for local government accounting, Paul Mason, said: «There will be a lump of untaken holiday pay that councils will have to account for in the current year, starting in 2010/11, rather than the year after as in the current system. (politics.co.uk)
The court has confirmed that a worker may carry over and make a claim for untaken leave entitlement on the termination of the engagement in these circumstances.» (newlawjournal.co.uk)
