Unfair selection for redundancy
« on: 08 June 2010, 22:57:20 »
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.

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.

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for example after receiving some evidence from the other side in the preparation of the case - then funding can be withdrawn.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offer (reasonable - in the opinion of your solicitor ) is made by the other side and you do not accept then funding is withdrawn also.

This cover is for contracts including employment contracts.
