The Use of the Law on Unfair Dismissal

This paper describes the use made by employees of the law against “unfair” dismissal. It describes what happens to the annually growing volume of complaints made by dismissed employees, and analyses the remedies which have been available to them. Finally, the paper documents an aspect of the law of great sociological significance: its heavy use by low‐paid employees.

Dissmissal without warning

THE INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACT 1971, hurriedly if not indecently buried, introduced a major innovation into the law relating to dismissal; the notion of unfair dismissal was something entirely new to English law although there had long been (and still is) common law relating to wrongful dismissal, a very different matter. The latter illustrates the general legal rule that where a contract is unjustifiably repudiated, an action will lie. Thus when an employer dismisses an employee without proper notice and without good reason according to the law, this amounts to repudiation of the contract between them. Rights under this heading are founded in the law of contract.

Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974

An Act to repeal the Industrial Relations Act 1971; to make provision with respect to the law relating to trade unions, employers' associations, workers and employers, including the law relating to unfair dismissal, and with respect to the jurisdiction and procedure of industrial tribunals; and for connected purposes [31st July 1974]
