The law relating to unfair dismissal changed substantially in October 2004 with statutory grievance and disciplinary procedures introduced. JMW Solicitors are in a position to advise on any consequential changes needed to your own grievance and disciplinary procedures as a result of the forthcoming legislation.
JMW Solicitors also act for employers and employees with regard to claims for unfair dismissal. If you are an employee you must be sure to file your claim within three months of the date of termination of your contract of employment. You therefore need to consult JMW Solicitors at the earliest opportunity.
If you are an employer you may wish to consult JMW Solicitors prior to taking the decision to dismiss to ensure that the dismissal is likely to fall within one of the fair reasons for dismissal set out in The Employment Rights Act 1996.
Alternatively, you may require JMW Solicitors assistance if you are faced with a claim made against the company in The Employment Tribunal. JMW Solicitors have experience of cases brought both in The Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Paul Walker has appeared in Employment Tribunal cases all over the country since 1996.
