Refusal of job offer
Where an employee had refused alternative employment with his employer and sought to bring a redundancy claim, the level of
consideration of reasonableness, to be applied by a tribunal, remained that of
Everest v Cox
(1980). The employee’s conduct was to be judged from his point of view on the basis of the facts as they were, or should have
been, apparent to him at the time.
