JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
For the Appellant | MR M SUTTON (OF COUNSEL) APPEARING UNDER THE EMPLOYMENT LAW APPEAL ADVICE SCHEME (ELAAS) |
JUDGE PETER CLARK: The Respondent Miss Porter commenced employment as a Senior Nursery Officer at the Garden of Eden Day Nursery on 8th November 1996. The proprietors of the Nursery were Mr & Mrs Adetona. On 18th November 1996 she signed a contract of employment in writing. It was signed by Mr or Mrs Adetona as employer. That contract provided for 4 weeks notice of termination on either side. Unhappily, the Nursery encountered financial difficulties due to a falling roll and Mr & Mrs Adetona found themselves unable to pay the rent on the premises and the staff's wages. It was decided to close the Nursery and dismiss the staff.
