W. Gimber and Sons Ltd v Spurrett: QBD 7 Mar 1967

Appeal by employers against a decision awarding the respondent, a redundancy payment. The question was whether, as the Tribunal found, the dismissal was by reason of redundancy. The appellants deal in chemists sundries and veterinary supplies, and the respondent had been employed by them for some 20 years, originally as a driver warehouseman, and ultimately as the manager of their warehouse.
