An assistant accountant was dismissed for lack of management ability in that he couldn’t do as he was told and was unable to supervise or co-operate with staff.
Held: The employee may have lacked dynamism, but had not been employed as a manager, and should not have been expected to perform as such. No real evidence had been brought to show him to be lacking in capability to perform the job he was employed to do.
