Re: wrongful termination from employment

One has two years to bring a defamation case in the Commonwealth. Whether you would have a viable case for this particular tort under the brief factual scenario which you've offered, I have no idea.

Unless you were working under a valid employment contract, it is unlikely that you would have any viable claim for wrongful termination, and any claim(s) which you may have against your former employer would likely lie in the area of defamation(libel or slander).
