Employment liability and litigation - Skills series
Employment law is not just about resolving disputes—it's about understanding the boundaries of accountability and the rights that protect everyone involved. This course dives into the core of liability and statutory claims, revealing how responsibilities for employee actions shape workplace dynamics.
From unfair dismissal and general protections to addressing discrimination, harassment, and breaches of contract, we’ll uncover the legal frameworks that safeguard fairness and uphold justice. By understanding these critical issues, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the complexities of employment law with confidence and clarity.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Understand the employer's legal duties of care in tort and contract, including vicarious liability and indemnification.
- Identify the requirements for statutory claims such as unfair dismissal, adverse action, and unlawful termination.
- Analyse the framework for discrimination, harassment, and bullying claims in the workplace.
- Recognise circumstances for breach of contract claims and determine the appropriate forums for legal action.
Course Structure
- Liability for employee actions
- Statutory claims – unfair dismissal
- Statutory claims – general protections, adverse action and unlawful termination
- Discrimination, harassment and breach of contract (pre-and-post-termination)

I found this course quite challenging, but have learnt much more about the practical part than I ever did during university.
