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.
