Dominique v Toll Global Forwarding Ltd [2014] UKEAT/0308/13

Scoring employees in a redundancy exercise is a notoriously difficult process. It becomes even more complex where one of those in the pool is disabled. In Dominique v Toll Global Forwarding Ltd Mr Dominique, a long standing employee of Toll, suffered a stroke causing long term physical and mental impairments affecting mobility and cognitive skills.

The issue in this case was that Toll identified the need to reduce the head count in the department in which Mr Dominique worked.
