Without prejudice to what?
The employee will have a field day at a tribunal for an instant dismissal with no hearing or right of appeal. Sounds like 'The Luggage' has cobbled together statements that he's heard and has regurgitated it on an internet message board as 'Gospel'. Who'd have thought that eh, another clueless wanker on the internet.

A quick google tells me that "An employee may be terminated without prejudice, meaning the fired employee may be rehired readily for the same or a similar job in the future."
This doesn't seem appropriate for sacking someone who physically threatened another member of staff...

Unless they are a boxer

I don't see how dogs can threaten to stab people.

Guns don't kill people, boxers do
I saw it in a documentary on BBC2

'A quick google' = talking out of your arse
A bilateral agreement to end a contract of employment, subject to the possibility of a further contract on the whim of an employer doesn't really cover being sacked with immediate effect does it.

Well, I simply copied and pasted that note from above.
However, 'when a lawsuit is dismissed without prejudice, it signifies that none of the rights or privileges of the individual involved are considered to be lost or waived', so I would assume that dismissal without prejudice goes down the same lines.

Also, notice that I agreed that this seems inappropriate.

Fuck's sakes, taking the internet far too seriously you are.
I wasn't involved, just a witness, and the guy who was fired was in fact a temp. Sorry for the lack of clarification.
