Practice question
A tribunal finds actual employment termination for a proved just cause after proper process, but labels that same lawful event constructive dismissal solely because termination was unwelcome. Which clarification in Lagamayo matters?
- Proved just-cause termination must be distinguished from the employer-created compulsion underlying constructive dismissal
- Every unwelcome termination is necessarily constructive dismissal
- Valid cause automatically proves unbearable unlawful treatment
- The employee’s preference overrides every lawful cause
- The two concepts must always be merged
