That’s not strictly true, what you are describing is called transferred redundancy, or “bumping” as it’s commonly known. It is perfectly legal however it isn't always easy to justify so I don’t necessarily disagree with the likely outcome just be aware that it doesn’t always have to be the role rather than the person being made redundant.
