The employee said she was an admin worker at farm with horses in Ireland, although her contract said she was a personal assistant and that her normal place of work would be in the office and part time in the yard. Certainly, she carried out a number of jobs. She resigned and claimed constructive dismissal after a series of fall-outs with the employer. The EAT appears to have preferred the claimant's evidence.
 
The EAT found "The cumulative actions of the respondent in the preceding year had resulted in a complete breakdown of trust and confidence on the part of the claimant in the respondent." and that it was "...satisfied that the claimant was entitled not to return to work when the respondent offered to reinstate her..."
 
The "cumulative actions" seemingly accepted by the tribunal included not dealing satisfactorily with an employee who filmed female employees in staff toilets, requiring employees to go past a vicious dog to get to the normal outside toilets, shouting and swearing at the claimant, and erroneously blaming late payments to creditors on slow work by the claimant.

The claimant was awarded some 20 weeks' pay by way of compensation. Case determination:
