Callum once described it as “the worst year of his life.”
After battling severe anxiety, bereavements, a marriage breakdown and losing his home, he was dismissed from his job of five years. He felt defeated and didn’t even believe an appeal would change anything.
With support from our trade union representative, his case revealed serious failures in the employer’s duty of care, including a lack of reasonable adjustments for his long-term mental health condition.
The dismissal was challenged as unfair and discriminatory.
The result? A negotiated settlement that gave Callum the fresh start he needed.
He’s now using that payment to start the business he and his wife had dreamed about for years.
When you feel like you’ll never get good news again you might just be wrong.
