Employment
Employment law is a potential minefield. The law is in a constant state of flux. The upper limit for most awards in the Employment Tribunal is now more than £60,000 (with others unlimited). There are often minimum fines for employers who get the procedure wrong and if a Tribunal rule that a dismissal is unfair then damages are awarded as well.
