EAT Redundancy – Definition
Contract of Employment – Incorporation into contract
Claimant appellants challenged the Employment Tribunal’s decision that they were not made redundant. It was said that the Tribunal misdirected itself in various ways and reached a perverse conclusion when it determined that changes made to their work did not constitute a change in the kind of work so as to trigger a redundancy situation.
The EAT dismissed the appeal. There had been no misdirection and the conclusion was one which was open to the Tribunal.
The respondent society cross appealed against the finding that if the claimants had been redundant, they would have been entitled to enhanced contractual redundancy payments. The EAT dismissed this cross appeal also. Observations on the question of incorporating terms from the collective agreement into the contract of employment.
