Caroline Peters has responded to our request for further information. I need you to prepare
a note on the following matters so that I can get back to her soon:

Caroline has a strong wrongful dismissal claim, as she was expressly dismissed in breach of
contract→ contract had a 12 month notice period, she was not given any notice, but was
given 3 months salary in lieu of notice

 Where should she bring her claim? Why?

-As net salary is £110,000 + bonuses→ a lot greater than £25,000 (cap at EAT)→ go to High
Court
-EAT has limited jurisdiction to hear a wrongful dismissal claim→ all statutory claims are
heard in the employment tribunal, civil courts will hear breach of contract claims (e.g. breach
of restrictive covenants, breach of confidentiality clauses)
-EAT: now there are no fees→ free to bring a claim
-She has a strong claim→ so should go to the court as loser pays winners fees




- Complexity: e.g. ET1 is way more simple


 What approach will the court/tribunal take when calculating wrongful dismissal
damages?

To put the employee in a position they should have been had the contract not been
breached→ so if she had been given full 12months notice

 What is the damages period in this case?

12 month notice period→ this is the damages period (received 3 month PILON) but total is
1yr
