- Definition Dismissal without valid reason or done unreasonably. Reference Directgov website http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/RedundancyAndLeavingYourJob/DG_10026692
- Comment Not to be confused with "wrongful dismissal" where the employer breaches the worker's contract in dismissing him, normally by dismissing him without notice or without following a procedure required by the contract. A dismissal can be both wrongful and unfair.See also "retaliatory dismissal" IATE:847747 .
