Actually the max limit for unfair dismisal is a lot more, I believe it is around £76k
This is something that I was sent as a member the CIM, the regs changed last year
2010 Award Limit £76,700 (ie £65,300 compensatory award plus 30 X £380 for maximum basic award) from 1st February 2010 (the maximum limit on compensatory award is reduced on 1st February 2010 but there is no change in basic award. - The main change in effect from 1st February 2010 is a reduction in the limit on compensatory award for unfair dismissal from £66,200 to £65,300 in line with the 1.4% reduction in RPI for the 12 months to September 2009 (Employment Rights (Revision of Limits) Order 2009, SI 2009/3274 and see notes at Indexation of awards and/or Compensation/2010 limit changes ). There is no change on 1st February 2010 to the £380 per week limit on week's pay which was introduced on 1st October 2009."
Ouch............!!!!
However, to put it into proportion the average award is about £6k to £8K. So it is important to get it right - get advice, follow it and then it is straightforward.
Hope this helps
