Wrongful dismissal
|
|
Wrongful dismissalA common-law claim based on breach of employment contract and, as such, wrongful dismissal is distinct from unfair dismissal. Where an employee is summarily dismissed in breach of his contractual entitlement to notice and other contractual entitlements he will have a claim for damages unless the dismissal was justified under the terms of his contract of employment. Damages are based on the employee's loss.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Claim
A demand for resolution or remedy of a grievance, or for something that is rightly the claimant's. Example: A demand for payment to recover a loss protected by an insurance policy. A demand in a court of law filed by a claimant on any juridical issue he / she considers.
Breach

Employment

Certain terms, such as the obligations to be performed and the terms for setting price or compensation must be mutually understood, known in legal lingo as a "meeting of the minds," and promised to by the parties to form a legal contract.
Dismissal
Dismissal may take place if the employer terminates the contract of employment, or if a fixed contract of employment expires. It also occurs in cases of constructive dismissal (breach of contract by the employer leading to the employee's resignation); or deemed dismissal in the case of refusal to allow a woman back to work after maternity leave. It may be contrasted with resignation (at the employee's instance) which does not amount to dismissal
