I was laid off after a 3 year service successfully running a biggest client account without cause or a least this hasn't been explicitly conveyed to me. The department I worked in has been going through financial difficulties but when the opportunity arose to be transferred to a different department I was refused. 6 months down the road I was laid off. There were 3 more people fired before me and we have reasons to believe these layoffs rather were discriminatory in nature. Could this be a case for a unlawfull dismissal due to discrimination?

Therefore was she wrongfully dismissed
