Chapter 10

[ch 10: page 332]

Redundancy can be a fair reason for dismissal. However, there are several ways in which a redundancy dismissal can be unfair, including: 

• unfair selection; 

• failure to consult properly; and 

• failure to offer suitable alternative employment.  

Unfair dismissal for redundancy is looked at in Chapter 11: Redundancy. 

Reps can find more detailed guidance in the LRD booklet Redundancy law — a guide to using the law for union reps (www.lrdpublications.org.uk/publications.php?pub=BK&iss=1690).
