Recent cases include:

• Successfully representing two claimants in a 3 day constructive unfair dismissal case.
• Defending an unfair dismissal claim on behalf of a small family-run business. The Tribunal found in favour of the respondent and the claim was dismissed.

• Successfully representing a claimant in a contractual dispute over notice period.
