Labour Court rejects Hussain Ali’s unfair dismissal appeal against Kohinoor Limited

The Labour Court disallowed Hussain Ali’s appeal and affirmed the rejection of his unfair dismissal complaint against Kohinoor Limited. The determination was signed on 1 November 2016. Ali argued his redundancy was a sham and that the company selected him because of an ongoing dispute. Kohinoor said falling business needs required it to reduce the number of chefs and that it used a selection matrix. The Court found there was a genuine redundancy, Ali was consulted and given a chance to comment on his scores and appeal, and the selection criteria were objective and fair. It concluded that he was not unfairly selected for redundancy.
