EAT Unfair Dismissal – The Claimant was dismissed from her senior management post as part of a restructuring, caused by financial problems of the Respondent, in which management posts were reduced from 4 to 2. She appealed on numerous grounds, 5 of which survived to a full hearing, at which all were rejected.
The Employment Tribunal were entitled to find a redundancy situation and that redundancy was the reason for the dismissal, that the Respondent had not acted unreasonably in treating the Claimant as in a pool of one, that there had been adequate consultation and that the reasons were adequate.
