Representation:

in deciding whether a dismissal is by reason of redundancy the question of whether the requirement for work of a particular kind had ceased or diminished is a question of fact not of law. The phrase "work of a particular kind" in ERA 1996 s.139(1)(b)(i) must be applied by reference to the requirements of the employer's business and on its own the fact that a re-organisation results in an employer requiring an employee to do a different job from that which he was previously doing is not conclusive of redundancy.
