In this interactive workshop, leading expert employment lawyer, Kate Shepherd explores unusual dismissals that fall into the fair dismissal category of “some other substantial reason”. Kate will consider current case law decisions and terminations out of the ordinary, that don’t fit within the usual categories of conduct, capability or redundancy. The workshop will also explore the practical implications and commercial risks associated with these types of dismissals.

In this interactive workshop we will cover the following:

  • The legal aspects and what the law considers to be “some other substantial reason”

  • Business restructuring and fire and rehire

  • When employees refuse to accept changes to terms and conditions

  • Illegal contracts

  • Personality clashes

  • Ending a fixed term contract

  • Conduct outside of work and bringing the employer into disrepute

  • Compulsory retirement

  • Common mistakes

  • Learn from Key cases
