Case report round-up: Post-transfer harmonisation dismissals automatically unfair
The HR & Compliance Centre's latest case reports cover:
- TUPE: Post-transfer harmonisation dismissal did not entail "changes in the workforce" In The Manchester College v Hazel and another EAT/0642/11 & EAT/0136/12, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) upheld a ruling by the employment tribunal that dismissals as a result of post-TUPE-transfer harmonisation were automatically unfair because they did not constitute an ETO reason "entailing changes in the workforce".
- Redundancy: Employers not always required to consider pooling issue in redundancy cases In Wrexham Golf Club Co Ltd v Ingham EAT/0190/12, the EAT held that, where one particular post is to disappear, there will be cases where it is so obvious that the occupant of the post will be the only person at risk of redundancy that it will not be outside the range of reasonable responses for the employer to focus consultation on that person without considering a wider pool.
