EMPLOYEE NOT REINSTATED
“If an employer can prove that reinstatement after military service of a former employee is made impossible by certain alterations in business circumstances, that is a good defence against a charge of this nature, but if another man has been taken oh to replace the first employee and still no reinstatement is made, that firm must be guilty of a breach of the regulations.” said Mr F. Wilson, inspector of factories, in the Stratford Court, when Charles William Ansford. a motor engineer, was charged with a breach of the Occupational Re-establishment Emergency Regulations, 1940. The magistrate. Mr W. H. Woodward, S.M., said the case hinged on the practicability or otherwise of reinstating a former employee. and it was with some doubt .that he came to the conclusion that it was the decline of the motor business which prevented Ansford from reinstating him. He felt he must dismiss the case, although, on the face of it, it looked as though an offence had been committed.
