The court considered a claim of constructive dismissal against a claim by an employee that the employer had failed to meet its duty of care to protect an employee against bullying or ill treatment by other members of staff. If the respondent had not provided enough work for the appellant so as to enable her to make a reasonable earning, the respondent could well be the sort of employer of whom an employee is entitled without notice to rid himself.
