  Bournemouth University Higher Education Corporation v Buckland EAT/0492/08 (2 other reports)

  • Unfair dismissal: Range of reasonable responses test of no application in establishing constructive dismissal

    Date:

    26 August 2009

    In Bournemouth University Higher Education Corporation v Buckland EAT/0492/08, the EAT held that the well-established contractual test for determining whether or not constructive dismissal has occurred should not be embellished by the introduction of the range of reasonable responses test, a concept that is properly confined to the law of unfair dismissal. In doing so, it declined to follow the EAT decisions in Abbey National plc v Fairbrother and Claridge v Daler Rowney Ltd.
