made to leave - do we have a case?

Hi all,
Imnot sure if this is the right place to post so i am posting this here and in the job board. just looking for advice regards to my husbands current situation.
He is currently working as a pharmacy manager for a small independant pharmacy company (they have three pharmacies). Heleft his previous job working for a large pharmacy company for this new job as it was closer to home and more pay. There have been a few problems in terms of the guy who owns the pharmacy in that he is docking peoples wages and having to lay people off but on friday implied to my husband that the same will happen to him. Of course my husband was not happy, he left a good job with a large corporation to work for this small company and the incentives was a larger pay packet and being much closer to home (10 mins rather than 1 hour 10 mins). So they agreed that he will leave after working a month. He said in his contract it states that he is on a 3 month probationary period - he is in his 2nd month.
my concern is that the emplyer has no grounds to do this, my husband has gone above and beyond for this employer, working days off, going in when he doesnt need to etc so feel as though 'not being able to afford you' is not good enough reason to dismiss someone from their job - something he should have thought of before he hired him and took him on. Was wondering if we had a case or not? To be honest we didnt even think that we did until FIL mentioned that maybe we should look into it as there should be a better reason for dismissal.
Of course this has put a strain on us, with having a small child and expecting a second in three months, my husband now has the stress of having to find a new job within the month in a already diminishing period of job hunting!
At the moment husband wants to work the remaining month and pursue it after he has left - would others advise this? What should be our next step?
Thank you to anyone who managed to get this far and sorry for the rant - its been an emotional few days (pregnancy hormones taking over!!)
