force mejeureSometimes, the law works in a way that can make an employment lawyer’s job seem like magic. An ironclad employment agreement can suddenly disappear when the correct language is identified as being in it. Or a series of fixed term contracts, each of which entitles the employee to a nominal amount on dismissal? These can sometimes be negated by showing that the employee was actually on an indefinite term contract under the guise of fixed term ones. Then, the employee is entitled to reasonable notice of their dismissal.
