the new employer, the employee has a choice whether or not to transfer. Cautionary notes Because of the latitude the courts give employers in deciding whether a redundancy is substantively justified, it may well be that any remedy available to you will be for the process by which the redundancy was carried out. The requirements that your employer would have to meet in order for the process to be fair depends on your particular circumstances, and you will need to consult your union or legal adviser to determine whether the requirements have been breached in your case.
