Visa International Service Association v Paul [2004] IRLR 42 EAT

Constructive dismissal: Failure to notify pregnant employee of job opportunity was repudiatory breach

Date:

20 February 2004

In Visa International Service Association v Paul the EAT holds that an employment tribunal was correct to find that an employee was constructively dismissed when her employer failed to notify her, while she was on maternity leave, of a newly created post arising out of a reorganisation in her department in which the employee was interested, and considered herself well qualified for.
