Of course it will affect your your future employment unfavourably. Would you employ someone who had taken an unfair dismissal case against a previous employer?
My main concern was if a potential employer especially being a solicitor would have any means to check i have taken this action.
Or if it was normal for a solicitor to carry out such a check when considering taking on an apprentice.
I don't think that EAT hearings are held in camera. Some get reported in the newspapers.
I would take the view that if there is even a small risk that it will damage your career, the case will not be worth taking no matter how much you stand to gain. And you hardly want a "skeleton in the closet" either that might be used in an attempt to embarrass you at some unexpected point in the future?
If you have a case of unfair dismissal, I can't imagine that you would want to work for a Solicitor in the future who may believe you are not employable as you had used legal redress to sort out a problem with a past Employer? It kind of flies in the face of whom the law applies to and for?
I dont understand your point. Do you mean that if i wish to pursue a career in law i cant sue anybody now?
No, I mean you would hardly want to work for a legal firm who may discriminate against you for taking legal action in the past against an Employer who was in contravention of labour law.
