Elle Stevenson, who appeared on The Apprentice in 2015, has won an unfair dismissal claim.

A barrister has been ordered to cover 40% of the damages awarded against a law firm after a former client brought action for negligence, even though proceedings against him were dropped.
Former London firm Merriman White and barrister David Mayall - who was instructed by Merriman White - were pursued for negligence after acting on a commercial claim which failed at a preliminary stage. The firm subsequently agreed to make a payment to the former client in bona fide settlement of the negligence claim.
After pleadings had closed in the negligence claim, the client agreed to no longer pursue Mayall on the basis that each side pay their own costs. Mayall denied being negligent.
