UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Redundancy
On a claim for unfair dismissal, the Tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy.
On appeal the claimant contended that the Tribunal had failed to take into account any available alternative employment that might have prevented his redundancy.
Held : Reading the Judgment as a whole, it could easily be inferred that the Tribunal had accepted that no other suitable employment was available at the material time. New staff had already been employed by the date on which the decision was taken and there was no obligation to dismiss them in favour of the claimant.
Appeal dismissed.
