Lamb Seeks Red Riding Hood without large toothed Nanny

[rutineli]

I have spent hours on the CAB web-site (what a farce) which proved beyond question that they spend more on incredibly complicated daft software than anything else. My boss gave me a doubtful redundancy for Xmas and I would like to consult an honest employment lawyer to see if it is worth the scant funds in my possession to pursue it. I have no job and one months salary so the funds are a bit scarce . Not a good time to be jobless although even at 60 I am still sensible, useful and people friendly. East Midlands CAB open for 3 hours twice a week and they are full up after an hour. Not much chance there.
Any advice or suggestions (that I am not too old for) would be most welcome as I believe that an astute employment lawyer might be able to assess the situation without skinning me alive financially and I do not want to chase any rainbows of "Compensation Claims" so no greedy motives please. Bet that there lots of me out there .

Quote: "I am rather dissappointed to note that the majority of repondents have placed their own interpretation upon what I have written and have not in fact dealt witht he issues as I have presented them, but rather with the issues that they believe they have a ready-made answer for. You have collectively ignored the oft repeated information that it was at the suggestion ofthe ACAS advisor that I decided to seek for a clearer definition of the role that is being offered instead of my current position."

Hmm. A few observations for you.
1) We don't work collectively. I know nothing about F30, Ethel, Buenchico or any of the others.
2) I can't and don't speak for the others, but personally I find your observations in your last response insulting.
3) None of us are 'astute employment lawyers with greedy motives" as far as I know. In fact none of us are lawyers. Some of us have worked with employment lawyers. We give our time here here for free.
4) Some of us provide links to other places where question-seeters can look for information themselves. Depending of the nature of the question, some of us may try to provide simple interpretation of the law as it applies in the specific case.

Please indicate which issues you have presented have not been dealt with.
