Yes, that's a fair point, if an employee believes that there has been an incident of Constructive Dismissal, they are entitled to take this to an Employment Tribunal (ET)*.

To be honest though, I doubt that the ET would rule in favour of the employee if evidence was produced to show that this was a decision to keep the business viable, rather than anything personal towards an individual.

*Changes are afoot by the Government to reduce the number of cases actually going before an ET and to prevent spurious and/or malicious complaints. Many, including the increase to a two year qualifying period, begin on 6 April 2012.
