Defending high profile organisation against unfair dismissal claim
Our client faced claims by a former self-employed member of their team who issued claims for unfair dismissal, statutory redundancy pay and unpaid holiday on the basis he was an employee or ‘worker’. The employment status issues were critical due to other agreements being terminated in a similar matter. We reached a cost-effective settlement before attending the Employment Tribunal which successfully prevented numerous similar claims being brought against the client.
