Former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro's lawyers have served notice of a claim of constructive dismissal against the club, the Press Association reports.
Legal papers have reportedly triggered a potential employment tribunal.
Carneiro was dropped from first-team duties after boss Jose Mourinhosaid she was "naive" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33837212) for treating Eden Hazard during a draw with Swansea.
Mourinho's stance has drawn censure but he was cleared of using discriminatory language by the Football Association.
The governing body came to that conclusion after consulting a language expert, but their handling of the case has also been criticised by the Women in Football network group and FA independent director Heather Rabbatts.
The FA and Carneiro disagreed whether she was given a chance to contribute to the investigation, with the 42-year-old saying she was "at no stage requested by the FA to make a statement".
