Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard from the claimant and her representative in the respondent's absence, no notice of appearance having been filed. Employment Judge Broughton was satisfied that, following the election of employee representatives, there was little or no collective consultation by Castle Meadows (Dudley) Limited in relation to more than 20 redundancies made on the closure of the care home.
On that basis, the claimant was entitled to a protective award. The tribunal held that the protected period was 30 days and that it began on 18 March 2022. The written record does not record any monetary figure for the award.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
