520			_aLooks at unfair dismissal, discrimination, and personal injury claims. Notes that an unfair dismissal or discimination case must be brought within three months, while claims for personal injury need not be brought until three years from the date the claimant becomes aware he has suffered an injury. Discusses the case of "Felix v DSS". This illustrates that when an employee has both an employment case and a personal injury case against an employer he should exercise extreme caution before settling the employment claim, as this could prevent any future personal injury claim. Also discusses "Griffin v Kingsmill and Others". The lesson of this case is that potentially high value cases, including stress at work cases, should not be settled at an early stage without full investigation.
