Since it is a small company, there is lots of family networking going on, so maybe the new recruit is somebody your boss knows personally (his nephew) or a son of a friend, and on and on.
It isn't fair on you, but that's how small companies minds work.

I don't think there is a law against it in a company, only in a government or civil service vacancy.
The thing about these situations are is that if they want a certain person for the job advertising the position will not change that.
They can always pick an attribute or two of one person's character or background and say it is better than another person's. Its an arbitory thing and nothing is set in stone, it's based on judgement so who is to say that the way the board of directors judge some one is wrong.
If you feel you are being passed over then confront them about it and ask what the prospects are and if you do not like the answer start to look around for another company.
That's my advice and you are welcome to tell me what to do with it.

This would depend on company policy. Just because this is the next step on the ladder for you doesn't mean you would get it. Not really worth making an issue of as your employer could make life extremely uncomfortable forcing you to leave. Just bite the bullet and accept what has happened

In theory, this is not supposed to happen, but in my 32 years in the work force, I have seen it happen time and time again. Higher ups groom a certain person that they want in a position. It's called a shoe-in! I feel your frustration as I, too have been passed over for a particular job for which I have paid the dues. I know it is a bitter pill to swallow and you have to decide if it is time to move on or not. My sympathies are with you!

It's illegal in UK I think. All vacancies must be advertised and subject to open competition to comply with The Human Rights Act, Fairness & Diversity and the Disability Discrimination Act.

It doesn't has to be advertised. In many cases, the senior guy from the firm meets a good candidate in some social/informal occasion and a job is offered.

If it's against the law, it's past time for Labour to go.
How does a company reward good work - promotion? no, redundancy when his job is tendered, brilliant.
Also promotions are on merit not automatic.
It used to be the case that only jobs on work visas (immigrants) would require a public tender, and then only for those jobs where extraordinary skills or experience where not required.

they do not have to post a job needing to be filled, they have the right to advance someone or hire with out posting for this job

As far as I'm aware it is only internal company policies that state this.
