I do believe a bond is enforceable in a court, but, if you do welsh on an agreed bond, then expect your CV to be met with many a visit to the CP trash bins in the future. Its a small industry. People talk.
Saying that, if you're trained for a job, sign a bond, and then subsequently made redundant, there is pretty much no way a bond would be enforceable. I once was offered a non reducing bond over 3 years and told in no uncertain terms, it was repayable, whatever happened. The employer in question had a serious revolving door, and couldn't retain staff, and they must have made a fortune from anyone stupid enough to pay it back once sacked.
