Unfair dismissal claims

It is a fact of life that employers are at risk of action by disgruntled staff or former staff and especially run the risk where compulsory redundancies or enforced dismissals have occurred.

Claims are a major headache, both in terms of management time, concern at the outcome and importantly the potential cost. The maximum level of award for unfair dismissal now stands at over £60,000.00. If you are faced with such a claim, we will advise and act for you quickly, assessing the relative strengths of the allegations and the risks associated with the claim.

Temple Heelis has recently introduced its ‘Employers Protection’ service, which for members of the scheme, offer access to advice and representation throughout the claims process.

If you have an unfair dismissal claim against your business or if you would like to discuss our Employers Protection Scheme, please contact Richard Moore or John Sim at our Kendal office on 01539 723 757.
Alternatively, use our Call Me Back facility and we will contact you at a time that is convenient for you.

Temple Heelis LLP have successfully defended businesses against unfair dismissal claims throughout Cumbria (Kendal, Barrow, Carlisle, Penrith) and North Lancashire (Lancaster, Morecambe, Preston).
