Hmm I'm sure I remember some one at work banging on about that now he was past retirement age the firm could just get rid of him no questions asked, no reason given.
My own view is that in the last 4 years I've seen our company taken to court a dozen times for wrongful dismissal and every case I can recall has been pretty tame and the amounts demanded ludicrous and all save a couple have ended up being settled out of court as each one defended costs thousands before it even gets to the tribunal, perhaps a better way forward would be instead of abolishing it just to cut the shysters out, make the defendant and his evidence stand or fall before the tribunal without sleazy lawyers milking everything further.
