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...

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.
