The Labour Court dismissed Sejal Tandel’s appeal against a decision that it had no jurisdiction to hear her unfair dismissal complaint, finding she had knowingly waived her right to bring the claim in a severance agreement. The decision was signed on 10 September 2025.
Tandel argued her redundancy dismissal was unfair and that financial pressure and duress undermined the waiver. Accenture Limited said the agreement precluded the claim. The Court found she understood the waiver, had two weeks to consider it and could have sought legal advice. It affirmed the adjudicator’s decision; it did not rule on whether the dismissal itself was unfair.
