Gordon Ramsay facing employment tribunal

Posted 17/05/2011

A feud between Gordon Ramsay and his wife’s family has escalated after it was revealed the TV chef’s mother-in-law plans to take him to an employment tribunal.

Greta Hutcheson is claiming damages for unfair dismissal and breach of contract after being sacked from Ramsay’s business last year, the Daily Mail stated.

She is also reported to have alleged that the Hell’s Kitchen star failed to pay redundancy money and broke employment laws regarding working hours.

Also making claims are her son Adam and grandson Christopher after they were also dismissed from the chef’s company.

Previously, Ramsay had tried to mend the rift with his in-laws by publishing a letter in the national press, urging Greta to speak to her daughter Tana.

In it, he said: “You’re punishing your daughter and our four children for all the wrong reasons.”

Businesses run by Ramsay have suffered in recent months, with the Daily Mail reporting that his restaurant at the London NYC hotel was forced to close after allegations of sexual harassment at the eatery from female employees.
