Redundancy: Selection for alternative employment

  • expand disabled

    Ralph Martindale & Co Ltd v Harris EAT/0166/07 (0 other reports)

In Ralph Martindale & Co Ltd v Harris EAT/0166/07, the EAT held that a redundancy dismissal was unfair where the process for deciding who should be offered an alternative post involved no objective criteria and no attempt to assess the candidates against a job description. It was unfair for the employer to rely mainly on a subjective assessment of whose management style would best suit the new post.
