Dr. Sandra Williams-Phillips, a consultant cardiologist, was employed on a 36-month fixed-term contract by the South East Regional Health Authority commencing August 2009. The Authority terminated her contract effective 20 January 2010 under clause 11(i), which permitted termination on one month's notice in writing or payment of one month's salary in lieu of notice. The claimant alleged wrongful dismissal, arguing she received neither proper notice nor payment in lieu. The court found that the Authority had tendered one month's salary in lieu of notice (which she accepted via cheque), so the termination was within the letter of the contract and not a breach. The court gave judgment for the defendants, with costs to be taxed if not agreed. This is an employment/wrongful dismissal civil case, not a professional disciplinary matter, and contains no findings of professional misconduct or dishonesty.
