Wrongful Dismissal

Wrongful Dismissal

Second Edition

by Michael Duggan

This book considers the principles relating to breach of contract in the employment context. It sets out the complex rules relating to assessment of compensation, reduction in awards and the tax position, and the impact of the CPR on claims for wrongful dismissal in the Courts. Extensively revised and updated in this second edition, the number and extent of precedents is considerably enhanced to fully complement its sister work Contracts of Employment.
