Liverpool could build a case to sue Luis Suarez for breach of contract if he is banned for biting, according to a leading employment lawyer. <img title="Luis Suarez" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2014/aug/26Luis-Suarez-1.jpg" alt="Luis Suarez" /> Luis Suarez&nbsp;
World governing body FIFA is now investigating the matter and he could face a lengthy ban that could be extended to club football.
Glenn Hayes, employment law partner at national law firm Irwin Mitchell, said: "The general position is that Suarez's behaviour in the work environment would usually represent gross misconduct (given that it could be classified as an assault) and would usually result in the dismissal of an employee in most circumstances.
The decision for Liverpool however is not really about whether they do what a 'normal employer' may do.
Much will depend on what punishment FIFA hands down but if the ban is sufficiently long so that Suarez is unable to fulfil his contract, this so-called 'frustration of contract' could lead to claims by Liverpool for breach of contract on the part of Suarez."
