eat help

i've asked this in legal too but just in case someone here can help :

dp was let go in March - told on a friday sorry you're last in first out , company has no money. he was given owed hols but no 2 weeks notice.
he has submitted forms for redundancy and all his employer has said is sorry i've no money
in june he took on a new guy in essentially dp's role but with a slight difference i'm assuming to cover his ass.
so dp is awaiting a date for the employment appeals tribunal- is it worth his while to engage a solicitor for it or go alone
we just assumed he'd get the €5k he's owed but i met an accountant recently who felt he'd get more due ti lack of notice, breech of contract (there was none) and basically not going about the redundancy properly !
we are clueless so any advice is welcomed thanks

Hi there, I'm locking the thread because it's already posted in another forum, and because we can't give specific legal advice here.
