Yes but it would be an unfair dismissal.

You'd never know would you as you no longer work there.

even the same job the very next day?

Yes - the day after the redundancy it would not be the same job. (Of course if the person had been appointed before the original job occupant had left in order to take over the next day that would be different.)

I do know my old place made a few redundancies a while ago and asked those they made redundant back on temporary contracts I think most of them said no as they didn't want to pay the redundancy pay back.

I'm friends with many of the people I work with, I'm invited to weddings, birthdays etc, I would be kept uptodate on work matters if I asked.

That suggests they received more than statutory redundancy pay. The employer could apply "pay back" terms in that case.

it could be the same job? How would the person left know this?

I only ask as I know someone who found out some months later that a person was taken on to do his job 2 weeks after he was made redundant and he found out 9 mths later when a mate of his left and he told him as he didn't want to before as he was scared to.
