In Garside and Laycock Ltd v Booth, the employer decided that, in order to avoid redundancies, it needed to cut its workforce’s salary by five per cent. Mr Booth refused to accept the pay cut and was dismissed for that refusal. This is called dismissal for ‘some other substantial reason’.  Mr Booth brought a claim of unfair dismissal which was upheld by an employment tribunal.
