Wrongful Dismissal

Wrongful dismissal is different from unfair dismissal in that wrongful dismissal is when your employer has breached the terms of your contract by dismissing you.

An example of wrongful dismissal is when you have been dismissed without the required notice period, as stipulated in your contract of employment.

At Hoole & Co. we deal with all types of employment law cases. We represent employees and employers, so whichever side of the dispute you are on, we can help.

Compensation for wrongful dismissal

Claims for wrongful dismissal can either be through an employment tribunal or through the civil courts. The details of the case will dictate the route taken. Compensation is limited to a maximum of £25,000 for employment tribunal cases, with no limit set in civil court cases. Your employment law solicitor will assess your case and advise you on the most suitable route to pursue.
