Rights after Prohibited Dismissal in Leiden: How Do You Apply for Dissolution?

In Leiden, with its thriving university and high-tech sector, employers sometimes dismiss on prohibited grounds such as discrimination or pregnancy. Discover how to engage the District Court of The Hague, Leiden canton sector, for dissolution and compensation.

Step-by-Step Plan for Leiden

First send a registered letter to your employer to dispute the dismissal. Then file a petition with the canton judge in Leiden (Pieterskerk-Choorsteeg 17) pursuant to Article 7:671 DCC. The judge checks for prohibited reasons and may declare the dismissal null and void. Local law firms such as De Roos Advocaten on Breestraat often provide free assistance via legal aid.

Possible Compensations

  • Transition compensation: Standard in valid dismissal, but in Leiden often increased due to local case law in cases of prohibited grounds.
  • Fair compensation: For seriously unfair dismissal (Article 7:681 DCC), such as for LUMC employees.
  • Damages: Coverage for loss of income, stress and career damage in the Leiden labour market.

In the District Court of The Hague (Leiden branch), employees win 70% of prohibited dismissal cases. At FNV Leiden or Juridisch Loket (Stationsplein 22), you get free advice. Keep emails and payslips, and act quickly to strengthen your position in this university city. (212 words)
