Dismissals

For a constructive dismissal claim to succeed, an employee needs to show that:

• Their employer was in repudiatory breach of the employment contract
• They resigned in response to that breach; and
• They did not delay too long before resigning in response to their employer’s breach.

Advice should be obtained prior to considering resigning as constructive dismissal cases are complex and steps can be taken to protect your position in so far as possible to maximise the chances of success.
