Hmm
My gut tells me that a big company like Nortel wouldn't have risked wasting that much of their shareholders' money on getting rid of people unless it knew it was potentially open to industrial tribunals, etc.

You had no statutory right to reduncancy at all; depending on when this was, you'd have to work for six months, a year or even two years before being entitled to anything at all.

So I'm guessing what you were paid was part of a compromise agreement i.e. they paid you off so you didn't sue them.

I guess so
I didn't expect it or even ask for it though.
