Definition of ‘redundancy’ For the purposes of this Statute dismissal shall be taken to be dismissal by reason of redundancy if it is attributable wholly or mainly to: (i) (ii) the fact that the College has ceased, or intends to cease, to carry on the activity for the purposes of which the person concerned was appointed or employed or has ceased, or intends to cease, to carry on that activity in the place in which the person concerned worked; or the fact that the requirements of that activity for members of the academic staff to carry out work of a particular kind in that place have ceased or diminished or are expected to cease or diminish. 7. Procedure for dismissal by reason of redundancy The Governing Body shall prescribe by Ordinance a procedure for dismissing members of the academic staff on grounds of redundancy. The procedure shall provide for an initial stage of consultation at the end of which the Governing Body shall resolve whether or not to proceed with a reduction of staff by reason of redundancy. The procedure shall provide, after such resolution: (i) (ii) for a process which is fair and which allows each member of the academic staff concerned, having been informed of the selection criteria to be employed, to make representations on his or her behalf; and for giving each member of the academic staff dismissed under this Part notice of dismissal and for informing him or her of the reasons for it. 31
8. Appeal against dismissal by reason of redundancy (a) The procedure prescribed under Section 7 of this Statute shall provide for an appeal to a panel by a member of the academic staff who has been given notice of dismissal under this Part. (b) The appeal panel shall be entitled to review all aspects of the matter other than the resolution of the Governing Body to proceed with a reduction of staff by reason of redundancy. (c) The appeal panel shall have power to reach a final decision on the appeal, or to remit the matter back for further consideration. Part III: Disciplinary Procedures 9. Grounds for disciplinary action (a) For the purposes of this Statute, ‘good cause’ in relation to the dismissal or removal of a member of the academic staff means a reason which is related to conduct or capability or qualifications for performing work of the kind which the member was appointed or employed to do. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, ‘good cause’ may include the following matters so found under procedures prescribed under this Statute: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) conviction for an offence such as to render the person convicted unfit for the performance of the duties of the office or for employment as a member of the academic staff; or conduct of an immoral, scandalous, or disgraceful nature incompatible with the duties of the office or employment; or conduct constituting failure or persistent refusal or neglect or inability to perform the duties or comply with the conditions of the office or employment; or physical or mental incapacity. (b) In this Section: (i) (ii) ‘capability’ means capability assessed by reference to skill, aptitude, health, or any other physical or mental quality; and ‘qualifications’ means any degree, diploma, or other academic, technical, or professional qualification relevant to an office or position held. 32
