J Terry v East Sussex County Council [1976] IRLR 332 EAT

Reports relating to this case:

  • Unfair dismissal: Different standard of fairness for temporary employees

    Date:
    1 October 1977

    When the fixed term contract of a temporary employee expires without being renewed, the test of fairness may be less stringent than would be adopted for an employee whose status was not seen from the start as temporary. This is one of the points to emerge from Gwent County Council v Lane and Terry v East Sussex County Council.
