The dismissal was not unfair and there was due process. The Claimant is not entitled to compensatory damages.

Facts

Issues

  1. unfair dismissal
  2. due process
  3. compensatory damages

Reasoning

The dismissal was due to the termination of a client contract, not the Claimant's fault. The Respondent did not issue prior notice, but the dismissal was not unfair. The loss of work was due to redundancy, not misconduct.
