Until 1 October 2006 Employees over 65 could not claim unfair dismissal. Although it is still possible to dismiss Employees by reason of retirement when they reach 65 (in most cases), provided a proper procedure is followed, dismissals for other reasons will have to be fair. In addition, certain particular groups of Employees are excluded from the right to claim unfair dismissal such as share fishermen.
