EAT Redundancy : Definition – UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reason for dismissal including substantial other reason – Reasonableness of dismissal – Whether the Employment Tribunal was entitled to hold that two new posts replacing a single post held by the Claimant involved a diminutive in the requirement for employee(s) to do work of a particular kind (Employment Rights Act 1996 section 139(1)(b)(ii)).
Dismissal for the redundancy reason was fair in all the circumstances.
Appeal is dismissed. The Respondent’s application for costs refused.
