Hi UV,
Sorry to hear your story. Been made redundant once myself.

About the only grounds for a case these days would be if they transferred someone in from another base to replace you. eg The company can't make you redundant without the position you occupied also being redundant. I've seen one electronics company make the mistake of making someone redundant and then hiring a contractor to replace them for the remaining duration of a project they were working on. In the end though going to court is a no win situation unless you want to retire soon anyway.
