If you resigned because work became intolerable

Constructive Dismissal Claim Help

Constructive dismissal claims are high-risk because the claimant has resigned and must prove the employer's conduct justified that resignation.

The core issue

The question is whether the employer committed a serious breach of contract, whether you resigned in response to that breach and whether you acted without affirming the contract.

Evidence that matters

Grievances, emails, messages, meeting notes, medical evidence, HR responses and resignation wording can all matter. Timing is especially important.

How to avoid weak framing

A resignation caused by stress or poor treatment is not automatically constructive dismissal. The ET1 needs to identify the breach and connect it to the resignation.
