‘Hurt’ IT worker claims unfair dismissal from firm run by his mother

AN IT worker has claimed that he was unfairly dismissed by a legal firm run by his own mother.

Oliver Clark was left feeling “hurt and bewildered” by senior managing director Alison Lee’s treatment towards him after he was allegedly dismissed on the spot from Biscoes Solicitors.

The GMB union said that Mr Clark had been employed by the Portsmouth firm for four years and was days away from completing a two-year apprenticeship when he was let go without warning, explanation and without legal obligations being followed.
