Summary
7.300
- Despite the familiarity of the concept of redundancy, the courts have
periodically been unable to agree an appropriate test to determine whether or
not a dismissed employee is redundant. (See 7.302
Definition of redundancy)
- This question is important because if an employee is redundant, he or
she will have a statutory right to a redundancy payment and may also be able to
claim unfair dismissal.
