Redundancy Period

[ASB]

Even in a probationary period if they have a formal disciplinary procedure there is an obligation to follow it. Failure to do so can still - in some circumstances - be constructive dismissal.

No thats the point of the probation period, they can get rid of you without any notice at all.

It will be in the contract of emplyment he did not have.

You can't get unfair dismissal until you've been at a place for one year, but you can take your employer to an employment tribunal if you feel that your dismissal was due to unlawful discrimination, or you were subject to harassment.

It's not as black and white as that. The point being - as I said - if there is a procedure it must be followed (and we don't know if that is the case with the employer in question) - that procedure can be (and often is) different during a probationary period.

I agree "face does not fit" is generally good enough (unless there is a specific procedure) however this does not preclude a complain that any procedure was not followed or prevent the dismissal being unfair on statutory grounds (e.g. race).
