Unfair dismissal: What is it? Who can claim?

Meaning of dismissal

Dismissal is defined as the termination of employment by:

  • The employer, with or without notice; or
  • The employee's resignation, with or without notice, where the employee has resigned because the employer by his or her conduct, in breach of the contract of employment, has shown an intention not to be bound by the contract (this is usually known as 'constructive dismissal') or
  • The expiry of a limited-term contract without its renewal. A limited-term contract is a contract for a fixed term or the performance of a specific task, or one which ends when a specified event does or does not occur.

This is what one of our clients recently said about our Employment Service:

"I've used James twice as a solicitor and on both occasions his service has been outstanding. He also provides value for money - his excellent rates undervalue the quality of the work he provides. On both occasions I've used him he gave pertinent and very perceptive advice understanding the full extent of the situation and what I wanted to happen. On the first occasion he salvaged a good result from the train crash of a situation. On the second occasion his advice and negotiations on my behalf brought results far exceeding my expectations. I cant recommend James highly enough!"
