The EAT confirmed that, in order to be fair, the redundancy process must involve a fair consultation which gives employees who are ‘at risk’ a meaningful chance to challenge their scores and be given explanations for them. It is therefore clear that where an employee has not been given all of the above information and as a result has not had the opportunity to effectively challenge their scores if they wish to do so, the employer will be at risk of unfairly dismissing the employee.

Where employees query their scores under a scoring matrix, they are entitled to be told the reason why they received the marks they did. Therefore employers need to be careful that the criteria and scoring used are capable of being justified.

But what if the employer wont and dont tell them?

Not every company will, they will just say 'you scored the lowest'.

Only in as much as they've treated everybody fairly within the criteria. They don't have to justify their criteria (provided they aren't protected characteristics under discrimination laws).
