Unfair or Wrongful Dismissal

An unfair or wrongful dismissal is when your employer dismisses you without giving proper notice. If an employer terminates an employee’s service against the terms of the contract – unless the employee is involved in gross misconduct such as fighting or theft – an unfair or wrongful dismissals case can be brought against it. Unfair Dismissal is a statutory right and has a different legal perspective from wrongful dismissal, which is a contractual right. Cases of unfair dismissal may include termination of employment due to refusal to work overtime, complaints against workplace safety, going on strike or becoming pregnant in the case of women. Unfair dismissal compensation claims by your solicitor can only be brought in the Employment Tribunal while claims for wrongful dismissal can be brought in either the Employment Tribunal or in Court. Strict time limits are enforced and you will require the advice of an expert unfair dismissal lawyer on the limitation period that applies in your case, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
