Rose Macaulay has successfully achieved judgment for a Claimant in a claim for both unfair and wrongful dismissal. The claim involved a preliminary issue on employment status and jurisdiction, due to the individual being a co-founder and controlling shareholder of the Respondent’s business for a number of years prior to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, and a new contract of employment being signed a year prior to dismissal. The Tribunal concluded the Claimant had been an employee for over fourteen years, that his dismissal was both substantively and procedurally unfair, and that he had been underpaid for his notice period.
