Nelson v BBC (No 2) [1980] ICR 110 is a UK labour law case, concerning unfair dismissal.

Contents

Facts

Mr Nelson refused any transfer of his employment, apparently in a "bloody minded" way.

Judgment

Brandon LJ held that Mr Nelson's behaviour reduced his damages to zero. This would be done if the employee's behaviour was "perverse or foolish … or … bloody minded."
