The court considered whether the employee had been given a notice falling within the Act so as to give rise to a redundancy.
Held: Widgery J said: ‘there are certain formalities about the type of notice necessary to determine a contract of employment. The notice may be a peremptory notice, sometimes referred to as a dismissal without notice, but if it is to operate on a future day, the notice must specify that date, or at least contain facts from which that date is ascertainable.’
