You may recall this long running matter involving a friend.
Tribunal was due to start tomorrow. Happily case has been settled tonight. Unfortunately cannot say anything as confidentiality agreement has been signed.

Good result. :y :y :y
As long as your mate is happy with the result.

Everyone happy- thanks Skruntie.
I will have to think of a way I can write about the issues in a general manner. How the ordinary guy can get any justice in these situations is absolutely frightening.
The futility of internal appeals in redundancy situations is also a huge issue - if one of 2 people in a "pool" is selected and then goes through meetings and appeals with employer and after 5 weeks wins the appeal then how on earth do you go back to the person not first selected and say - sorry it is you not him. Process would start all over again. Hence no internal appeals in these situations will ever succeed. Fundamentally unfair in my view.

it should be last in and first out,but its usually those who have the longer tongue stay and those who work the hardest go.

Not sure if I have posted on this before but something that may help people - Legal Expenses Insurance under your Home Insurance Policy.
In the case just dealt with, home insurance policy paid for legal expenses up to a certain point. How does it work?
Basically you have to demonstrate to the solicitor appointed by the insurance company that you have a 51% chance of winning. If at any time this solicitor considers that you do not have a 51% chance, for example after receiving some evidence from the other side in the preparation of the case - then funding can be withdrawn.
Also if a reasonable settlement offer (reasonable - in the opinion of your solicitor ) is made by the other side and you do not accept then funding is withdrawn also.
