Holding

The court found that the termination was based on poor performance rather than redundancy.

Facts

Claimant was employed by Respondent from April 2017. She was terminated on May 3, 2018, with reasons given for redundancy. The Respondent hired another person to take her place, and the Claimant claims she was terminated due to discrimination.

Issues

  1. whether the Claimant was unlawfully and unfairly terminated
  2. whether she is entitled to the reliefs sought

Reasoning

The court determined that the termination letter referred to redundancy, but the court was not convinced this was a case of termination on redundancy. The court found that the Claimant was issued with a termination letter on the basis of poor performance.

Outcome

The court found in favor of the Respondent.
