QLD Unfair Dismissal Claim?

[Samlee18]

Basically what happened is my hubby and I were given the opportunity to purchase the business he works for through vendor finance, using our house as collateral, and we had to come up with a deposit. They refused to provide business figures until we agreed to put up our house. So, we declined their offer. They are opening another business to cater for the more upmarket clientele. We do not know what they plan to do with their current shop. So now, they told my hubby if you take the purchase offer there is no room for you in the business

It is a small business and he has worked there since October last year.
We have had no letter stating he has been fired.

Do we have a case?

Is he still working at the shop?

If yes, then there has been no dismissal. Plus if the business is a small business (<15 employees in total) he needs to work for at least 12 months to qualify.

I would say you dodged a bullet not buying it.....OBVIOUSLY If the business was worth buying, they would be up front with the books and be trying to sell it to others as well.
