EAT UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
The Employment Tribunal decided that the employer/Appellant’s decision to dismiss the Claimant for redundancy when a co-worker had volunteered for redundancy was one that no reasonable employer would have taken and was therefore unfair. On a fair reading of the Tribunal’s decision they had not wrongly taken into account the co-worker’s subsequent resignation and their decision was one that was open to them on the facts.
