A successful employee in a wrongful dismissal action normally recovers “costs” against the former employer. Recoverable “costs”, however, are not the same as the actual legal expense an employee might have had to pay to his or her lawyer. Recoverable costs are normally considerably less than one third (often only 20-25%) of an employee’s actual legal expenses. Thus, even a successful claimant would in most cases incur legal costs that are not recoverable.
I recently had the opportunity to deal with David McWhinnie at Tevlin Gleadle Curtis Employment Law Strategies.
David was extremely prompt, courteous and truly went out of his way to assist with my case. His sincerity and genuineness came across in a very heartfelt and humane manner - as though he was coming from a place of "seva" (self-less service without regard to profit).
I highly recommend Tevlin Gleadle Curtis Employment Law Strategies for Clients seeking assistance in Employment matters.
