Wrongful Dismissal

Employees who are dismissed in breach of their employment contract may be able to successfully claim for wrongful dismissal.

Most commonly, claims for wrongful dismissal arises where an employee is dismissed without the requisite notice period or in breach of an employer's policy which forms part of the employee's contract – e.g. an attendance procedure or disciplinary procedure.

Claims for wrongful dismissal, as with all claims for breach of contract, can be presented in the Employment Tribunal (to a maximum value of £25,000) or in the Civil Courts (County Court or High Court).

It is unnecessary for employees to establish any length of service for a wrongful dismissal claim.
