Or the previously quoted "Some Other Substantial Reason"

Possibly "old" law, but if you don't want a gripping read check Hollister vs. the NFU...

One report of the Industial Tribunial on the above contains the following comment

<<Ellis v. Brighton Co-operative Society Ltd. [1976] I.R.L.R. 419, where it was recognised by the court that reorganisation of business may on occasion be a sufficient reason justifying the dismissal of an employee. They went on to say, at p. 420:
"Where there has been a properly consulted-upon reorganisation which, if it is not done, is going to bring the whole business to a standstill, a failure to go along with the new arrangements may well -- it is not bound to, but it may well -- constitute 'some other substantial reason."'>>

It's not my job to do BASSA's legal work, but we know WW likes using the legal system, so before ticking "yes" or"no" on that ballot sheet, make sure BASSA have got sound legal advice.
