Hachette Filipacchi UK Ltd v G Johnson: EAT 14 Dec 2005

EAT Unfair Dismissal – Reasonableness of dismissal. Unfair Dismissal and Redundancy
In paragraph 22 of its Reasons the Tribunal appears to have decided that the employer was required to give the employee ‘first refusal’ to return to a particular job when she was redundant. If so, no adequate process of reasoning as to how the ‘reasonable responses’ test applied and why this result was reached.
