Re: redundancy

it is possible that you have been unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy. On the other hand it could well be that you were wrongly chosen for redundancy which will mean that you were unfairly dismissed. The answer is in the detail and without this I could not give an opinion.

There is much information available on the Web on the proper procedure and criteria for redundancy including a certain amount on our web site. I would suggest that you research this and let us know if having done this you have further query.
