| Summary: | Sociological investigations and a number of court decisions support the idea that redundancy
dismissals are legal tools that can be misused easily for wrongful discharged based on an
illegal age discrimination reason. This article analyses trial and appeal courts´ case law in

decide, who they do not work with, who they fire. |
