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 order to clarify, what makes this particular reason for discharge so attractive for age discrimination perpetrators.
