Wrongful Dismissal

Unfair dismissal can occur where an employee has been dismissed unfairly, i.e. for no reason, and/or without fair notice, and/or without a hearing or right of appeal. Unfair dismissal can also occur where an employee is unfairly selected for redundancy. When an employee’s work conditions are so intolerable that he/she must terminate his/her employment, this can give rise to a claim for constructive dismissal which is another form of unfair dismissal.
