One of the first questions to consider when you are informed by your company that you are at risk of being made redundant, is whether it is a true redundancy situation.

Your company will only be able to make you redundant (and dismiss you fairly) if it can show that: (i) it ceased or intends to cease carrying on the business for which you were employed; or (ii) it ceased or intends to cease to carry on that business in the place where you were employed.
