How long will it take to resolve my employment law and wrongful dismissal claim?
This depends on the circumstances of your claim. In the most common circumstance, where an employee is dismissed (aka fired, terminated) without any allegation that the employer had “just cause” to dismiss the employee, the time between dismissal and court judgment can be fairly short. It can be as little as 4 months, and given competent counsel, and cooperative parties on all sides, the time should not be much more than this. In cases where cause is alleged, or where there are complicated factual or legal issues requiring motions and preliminary appliciations, the time may be considerably longer.
