The dismissal was lawful: the decisive authority to dismiss resided with Head Office and the alleged oral extension by the local manager did not create enforceable contractual rights due to absence of consideration and lack of authority to bind the company; however the claimant had vested entitlements to two months' leave pay and a return airfare which must be paid; the tenancy contained an implied term that Panalpina would only pay the inflated rent while the claimant remained its employee, so Panalpina validly determined the tenancy on employment termination.
