Redundancy Rules? Some advice please?

Hi

My husband has been notified by telephone that his job is under threat of redundancy. He is currently off sick waiting to have angioplasty.

It's between him or his 1 colleague with the same job role. The MD of the co has sais he wants it "done and dusted" by Christmas. Now I am pretty sure this is far too quick to be legal, but am obviously looking for any other opinions.

He has worked there 7 and 1/2 years, the company has about 25 employees (I think), and for the previous 3 quarters my OH has hit and exceeded all his OTE targets (he's an account manager, i.e., sales rep).

Any advice on what the correct procedure for redundancy is?
