Historically, tribunals have given employers considerable latitude when it comes to defining redundancy pools. However, redundancy pools have been under the spotlight in recent weeks, with two separate cases considering the fairness of using redundancy pools consisting of just one employee. Obviously, where a redundancy pool is the same size as the number of redundancies to be made, the subsequent selection and consultation processes become of less relevance.
