An employer calls Miss B into a meeting without notice and says she has been provisionally selected for redundancy. She is given a settlement agreement and told to go home and consider it. As is required with a settlement agreement, she takes it to a solicitor. The solicitor advises her that she has a case and the sum of money being offered is low. The solicitor advises her to negotiate for a higher sum of money.
Miss B instructs the firm to negotiate on her behalf and she gets an increased sum to her settlement agreement. She is delighted with the result.
Miss B decides to accept the sum of money that is on offer and signs the settlement agreement.
