RESPONSE TO MOTION TO DISMISSIN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO DISMISS
The Commonwealth of Redmont moves to dismiss this case under Rule 5.5 for lack of a claim.
Your Honor, the plaintiff lists one claim for relief, which is unfair dismissal, but fails to provide any substantial facts demonstrating how the dismissal was unfair. Government Departments can terminate employees at any time to ensure proper department management.
The Commercial Standards Act provides a cut-and-dry definition of Unfair Dismissal: "The unjust termination of an employee." This definition provides a simple, straightforward response to the question of being justified. The Plaintiff failed in their role outlined within defense exhibit (d-11). A reason was provided to the Plaintiff. While the defendant may not agree with this, they were adequately notified of the reason for this dismissal as cited by the Secretary of Construction and Transportation.
Should the court allow this case to remain active it would be making the automatic change in the precedent established within [2024] FCR 22 - Where the court more specifically you your honor cited the following:
The defendant stated themselves previously within this very case:
It is clear here that we merely have a disgruntled former employee wishing to attempt to make a cash run. The Plaintiff fails to connect what in the law the commonwealth broke. We provided a reason for dismissal, which is straightforward in saying they failed in their roles. They further have admitted within discovery for leaving the discord instead of contesting the termination or asking clarifying questions on their dismissal.
For these reasons, we respectfully request that this case be dismissed.
They claim that my case doesnt provide any substantial facts how my dismissal was unfair but my chance to prove unfair dismissal isnt over. I still have witnesses to question and cross examine and prove why my dismissal was unfair. Not all forms of evidence can be provided in screenshots. For example trying to prove that something doesnt exist isnt really something you can provide in a screenshot. I will be trying to prove that it was never discussed to me that I was under performing in my job and that all I heard was good praise. This along with the vauge reason for my firing will meet the definition of unfair dismissal.
The defense is also forgetting that I was not only fired from Inspections Manager but also as a Building Inspector which I was never given reason as to why I was terminated
The precedent sited in which you said the reasoning was vauge. This is mostly because the law is vauge but my reasoning is simple. I was never talked to about any under performing and I have only recieved praise. How can someone avoid being fired for under performing if they are only told they are doing a good job.
The law for Unfair Dismissal is there to protect employees. By dismissing just about every unfair dimissal case infront of you because of vaugeness because the law is vauge in of itself would harm the very spirit of the law.
The Defense also claims this is a cash grab which is not the case what so ever. I would much rather have the job I had for 9 months in the department I was in for over a year then get a single penny. I only asked for the money as that is really the only other thing I can ask for if I can not get my job back.
If you pay attention to anything in this response pay attention to this:
Is it really fair to firing someone for under performing while only giving them praise?
How can an employee fix their actions if they are only told they are doing a good job?
These are the question I will be trying to answer moving foward if you dont dismiss this case and you will see I was never given a chase to keep my job and I was setup for failure which would be an unfair dismissal.
