A Supreme Court of New South Wales ruling has overturned a decision by the District Court that ex-UGL Rail Services executive John Janik was owed a redundancy payment worth $A288,000. The appeal judges found that the company was correct in arguing that the replacement for Janik was carrying out the same duties and the role had therefore not been abolished. Legal experts are advising dismissed managers to carefully consider whether to launch such law suits
