Redundancy when pregnant

Dear Liza,

My case will be heard before Christmas. I went today to the sollicitor to review my case. She told me I have a very strong case against my former employer.
My former employer wanted to get rid of me for redundancy he claimed he did also not need a secretary anymore as the there was a downturn in business.
He then after a month hired someone else in my place and he now claims he got rid of me for summary dismissal.
I can give you this advise check if the company has hired someone else in the next few months. He cannot hire anybody else for a period of six months.
And also go see a sollicitor and have a consultation this normally doesnt cost much and they can tell you if you have a case.

How long have you been working with your former employer?

Sunshine, thanks so much for replying back to me. Just over a year and a half Im with them, I know its not very long.

You mentioned about them not being able to hire anyone for 6 months after yes, but if they change around the job title, like add on a couple of extra responsibilities, are they okay to do that then do you know?

Think you will find that the LRC / EAT guys will smell a rat if the substance of the role remains the same and will find accordingly.
