In Australia you see quite a bit of this and the sting in the tail is that 'success' can be defined as any payout e.g. sue for $1 million, judge awards $5000. Lawyer claims it as a win and presents you the bill for $100,000. Many have been burnt.

There is a place I have seen advertised on TV called 0800 Sacked or something. They proclaim no success no fee....so with that in mind, ring them and see what they havbeto say. They would obviously tell you you are dreaming or not pretty quickly because they would be after the $$ of a succesful win in emp. Court. So since its an 0800 num. its got to be worth a ph. Call.

Some one from this list e-mailed me personally suggesting that I looked at legal issues over my recent resignation and said that I could well have a case for constructive dismissal.
My response was that I don't think I do as my main reason for resigning was that I got sick of being challenged as to
the honesty of the time sheet I submitted. This is a part
time casual job and I work some weeks and not others and
when I work it could be 2 hours or 10 in the week.
The real reason I resigned is that I am TOTALLY pissed that this company should imply that I am dishonest every time I submit a time sheet and they have no problem in running 15 to 20 PCs with NO REGISTERED software on them.
This has got me thinking. Maybe a case of constructive dismissal could be taken on the grounds that they forced me to resign because I cannot be expected to work for a company doing illegal things particularly when that illegal actions are directly related to my "profession". Because they refuse to buy software they force me to be unprofessional or resign.
This could apply to any company which does something illegal and an
employee resigns and it would be interesting to see what the employment
court did about it. Would they agree that any company doing anything illegal is putting undue pressure on their employees?
.....ummmmmmmmmmm......
What is that saying - "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive". Maybe it could be reworded to "Oh what an expensive web we weave, when first we try to f--k (can't say that word cos David wont get the post :-) with Bill.
