Case 1

Ms X received a constant stream of sexual remarks from a male colleague. For example, when she wore leather trousers to a works function, he made suggestive comments to her.

Finally, she had enough and resigned. We took her case to the Employment Tribunal where she was awarded substantial compensation for sexual harassment.

Case 2

Mr Y was made redundant from his job in a factory. His employer had failed to use any proper procedures and the Employment Tribunal found that Mr Y had been unfairly dismissed. He was awarded compensation for unfair dismissal.

Case 3

We represented thirty union members who were made redundant from the now defunct Longannet deep mine in Scotland. We submitted that the company had not consulted the members properly and obtained an award of 90 days’ pay at an Employment Tribunal hearing. We also obtained a ruling that the members had been unfairly dismissed.

Case 4

Mr A’s ex-employer tried to enforce some extremely unreasonable restrictive covenants against him in the County Court.

We issued counter proceedings for constructive dismissal in the Employment Tribunal. After a lengthy battle in the Tribunal, the employer withdrew its court case.
