Unlawful termination of an employment contract

Mr Smith worked as the CEO of a local council.

The council has recently terminated Mr Smith's employment contract, claiming he failed to adequately supervise a junior employee recently found out to have defrauded the council of money. 

Mr Smith claims his employment contract has been unlawfully terminated. 

 

 

He says he adequately supervised the junior employee, but the junior employee had been so deceitful that it was not foreseeable he would defraud the council. 

Mr Smith seeks a lawyer to commence a case for damages for breach of the employment contract.
