Part XI of the Employment Right Act 1996 details the legal position of redundancy.
The Act also details many other rights relating to employment. However, our cunning legislature decided when drafting the act that not all of these rights should apply to the Armed Forces (or other groups). The elements of the act that apply to the Armed Forces are detailed at
Section 192 para (2) - this does
not apply 'Part XI - Redundancy payments etc.' to the Armed Forces. (Similarly they don't apply to others in 'Crown employment' (
Section 191)).
