Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal heard the case at Birmingham on 29 July 2025 before Employment Judge Bennett sitting alone. The Claimant, Miss Tanya Mitchell, appeared in person assisted by a lay representative; neither Respondent attended. The first Respondent is Longton Taverns Limited (in creditors voluntary liquidation) and the second Respondent is Ms Cheryl Chadwick.
On the TUPE claim, the Tribunal declared that both Respondents had failed to comply with their obligation to inform and consult under Regulation 13 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. It made a protective award in the Claimant's favour, holding the Respondents jointly and severally liable for a sum equivalent to ten weeks' pay at £281 per week, totalling £2,810.
On the unfair dismissal claim, the Tribunal found the complaint well-founded and ordered the 2nd Respondent to pay the Claimant £2,474, made up of a basic award of £562 and a compensatory award of £1,912. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
