Whilst redundancy is simply one potentially fair reason for a dismissal, it is worth a mention in its own right. 

As well as being satisfied that a particular circumstance comes within the legal definition of what constitutes a redundancy situation, following through the correct procedure in relation to the identification of potential candidates, application of appropriate selection criteria and ultimate choice of who should go is an essential part for an employer who doesn’t want to risk a claim.
