Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr P. Hughes was employed at the respondent’s store in Cardiff and had an effective date of dismissal of about 30 June 2020. He was one of seven employees dismissed by reason of redundancy, and he confirmed that his only claim was for a Protective Award.
The tribunal said entitlement to a Protective Award in a case of no consultation arises where an employer proposes to dismiss as redundant 20 or more employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less. The relevant establishment was the store, and on the claimant’s own confirmation only seven employees were dismissed there at the material time.
Because the statutory threshold was not met, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to a Protective Award and dismissed the claim.

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.
