ABSTRACT
Termination is a large area on its own, but is wider than dismissal because it covers not only termination by the employer but also termination by operation of law and employee termination. In addition, questions relating to common law can arise in the context of statutory rights, particularly in relation to unfair dismissal and redundancy, as we shall see in Chapters 9 and 10. As such, the principles relating to common law termination really need to be understood when answering the type of questions seen in those two chapters.
