Shawkat v Nottingham City Hospital NHS Trust: EAT 14 Jul 1999

A doctor claimed that he had been dismissed unfairly for redundancy and his employers claimed that since he had not accepted new conditions he had been dismissed fairly for some other reason. The Tribunal held that he had been dismissed for redundancy after the re-organisation because his work could not be excluded from consideration. His work is determined by what work he was doing rather than his strict contractual obligations.
