Chrissy, Weigh up the sitation. You only worked for this company (I assume on contract) for a few hours a week so your dismissal is not a plain employer/employee situation. This is more of a contract situation as an external and private contractor (I may be wrong here, only you know the situation). If this is correct, then all the company has to do is prove that they stopped the contract because you quit, your work was shoddy, you did something wrong (the arguments for timesheets could cause a problem here), or they have found someone better - depends on the terms in your contract. If it is an employee/employer situation, then you may be entitled to some comeback, but that may be little as your work was part time. You must also consider your own copntinuing ability to contract to others who may have heard that you took someone to court over unfair dismissal in a contract. If this was a fulltime job, and you had gone through what you did, but finally had to leave due to youre being asked to participate in illegal operations, then I'd say - go get 'em. However, this does not seem so clear and the rewards may not seem worth the effort when compared to the downside. As always, it's your decision, you are the one in posession of all the facts and therefore are the one to weigh this up correctly. If you are uncertain, have a chat to a lawyer who specialises in this area.
