Redundancy can be fair (enough) but also it cannot be fair. The question asks for AUTOMATICALLY fair dismissal, which is when there is no doubt that the employer had a right to fire you.

How is legal prohibition not an automatically fair ground for dismissal?

I think the reasoning behind my exclusion of "legal prohibition" was because this is only 'potentially' a fair justification for dismissal
Where a doctor loses her practicing certificate, then dismissal from the doctors' practice would be fair
Where a chauffeur loses his driving license, that again would be a fair reason for dismissal
But where a doctor loses their driving license, and is dismissed from the doctors' practice as a result, that would likely be seen as unfair
So "legal prohibition" is not automatically a fair reason for dismissal ... I believe that it depends upon the circumstances
OK?
