Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard in Birmingham on 9 September 2019 before Employment Judge Wynn-Evans. The judgment records that the respondent, The Larder Atherstone Limited, had been dissolved on 16 July 2019.
On that basis, the tribunal dismissed the claimants' claims because there was no legal entity in existence against which a judgment could be entered or enforced. The written record does not set out separate findings on liability for the underlying claims.
No remedy was awarded, and the record states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. The judgment therefore disposes of the proceedings on the ground that the respondent no longer existed as a legal person when judgment was entered.

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.
