Law/Patents - Law (general) / employment law
German term or phrase: Kündigungsschutzverfahren
Looking for the correct (UK if possible) legal term - is "employment tribunal/industrial tribunal" too general? Can i use "unfair dismissal hearing"?

unfair dismissal (tribunal) hearing
Explanation:
Although British law distinguishes between "unfair" and "wrongful" dismissal, the former is more common. In this instance, you could quite correctly use the phrase "unfair dismissal (tribunal) hearing", even though it is a bit of a mouthful! It sounds better without "tribunal".

Background info - German use of the term


Explanation:
My Siemens Dictionary of Personnel Terms translates Kündigungsschutzklage as 'action against wrongful dismissal.'

KÜNDIGUNGSSCHUTZVERFAHREN
Der Arbeitnehmer kann gegen die Kündigung eine
Kündigungsschutzklage erheben. Will der
Arbeitnehmer sich darauf berufen, dass kein
Kündigungsgrund besteht, muss die Klage innerhalb
von drei Wochen nach Zustellung erhoben werden.
Diese Dreiwochenfrist gilt nicht, wenn die Kündigung
bereits aus anderen Gründen unwirksam ist, z.B. das
Schriftformerfordernis nicht eingehalten wurde.

Das Gericht entscheidet ausschließlich, ob die
Kündigung wirksam oder unwirksam ist. Die
Beweislast liegt in der Regel beim Arbeitgeber. Ist
die Kündigung unwirksam, wird das
Arbeitsverhältnis fortgesetzt.
In der Praxis einigen sich Arbeitgeber und
Arbeitnehmer allerdings häufig über die Beendigung
des Arbeitsverhältnisses gegen Zahlung einer
Abfindung.
