Abstract

Considers the reasons under which contracts can be terminated under the “at will” clause and discusses the misuse of this term leading to wrongful termination. Looks at the different rights in law of some institutions that operate as “religious entities”. Outlines the principles of wrongful termination and academic tenure, providing case law history. Concludes that there are areas where wrongful dismissal is difficult to prove under present guidelines.
