Here\'s the answer provided by the first reference:

\"The dismissal of an employee will usually be considered fair if the following two conditions are met.

Firstly, dismissal is fair if made on one of the following grounds:

An employee\'s misconduct[mdash]for example, theft, assault, racial or sexual harassment, drunkenness, lateness or absenteeism
An employee\'s inability to do a job
Redundancy—for example, when you need fewer people to run your business
A statutory requirement that prevents an employee from continuing to work—for example, an employee not having a valid work permit or a driver losing his driving licence
Some other substantial reason that could justify dismissal[mdash]for example, dismissing an employee taken on as a temporary replacement for a worker

Secondly, an employer must act reasonably in deciding to dismiss an employee rather than taking some other form of disciplinary action. Guidance on what counts as \'reasonable\' is given in the Code of Practice on Disciplinary Practice and Procedures in Employment issued by the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service ( ACAS).\"

agree  KirstyMacC (X): Yes. Contrasts with gen. 'Common Law' unfair dismissal. cf. spec. breach-of-contract wrongful dismissal. I haven't heard of 'rightful dismissal' that would be contract-compliant.

Wrongful dismissal or dismissal without just cause


Explanation:
Ver definição abaixo:

Wrongful dismissal - Being fired from a job without an adequate reason or without any reason whatsoever. Employees do not have a right to a job for life and can be dismissed for economic or performance reasons but they cannot be dismissed capriciously. Most employment implies an employment contract, which may be supplemented by labor legislation. Either could provide for certain procedures to be followed, failing which any firing is wrongful dismissal and for which the employee could ask a court for damages against the employer. Can also be referred to as "dismissal without just cause." Not all states recognize this tort law action.

Sorry, I gave you an incorrect answer, it is the opposite, ie, dismissal with just cause.

dismissal with cause


Explanation:
Dismissal with cause – an IPP RS may be discharged “with cause” in the case of incompetence or gross misconduct.
http://www.ipp.ca/RSPolicy/policy-no-13.htm
If you are dismissed without cause, you are entitled to pay in lieu of the notice you should have received, however, notice is not required where you are dismissed for cause. Some reasons for dismissal with cause include stealing, fraud (etc). The employer must set out the reasons for dismissal in writing and deliver them to you. http://www.unb.ca/bruns/0102/11/news/punchinclock.htm
