Is it possible to appeal against dismissal under martial law?
For example, an employee who considers his or her dismissal to be illegal may appeal against it in court within 1 month of receiving a copy of the dismissal order. To do so, the employee must file a statement of claim with the local court.
How to file a claim:
- Draw up a statement of claim, in which you indicate:
- The name of the court.
- Information about the parties (yourself and the employer).
- The amount of the claim (for example, earnings during the period of absenteeism).
- A description of the circumstances of the case and the reasons why you consider the dismissal to be unlawful.
- List of evidence (dismissal order, witness statements, salary documents, etc.).
2. File a statement of claim in person or through a representative. You can also send documents by mail or electronically, depending on the technical capabilities of the court.
Important! File a lawsuit on time. If you miss the 1-month deadline, the court may refuse to accept the claim unless you can prove that you missed the deadline for good reason.
Before filing a claim, it is recommended to consult an attorney or lawyer specializing in labor law to assess all the circumstances of your case and to draft a proper statement of claim.
