Mr K Collins & others (see schedule) v 1.Al Realisations Limited (In administration) 2.Laura Ashley Limited (In administration) and 1 other — 2021

The judgment records that the claimants listed in the schedule were employed by one of the respondents and were dismissed on 31 March 2020 by reason of redundancy. The claimants brought a complaint under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 seeking a protective award for failure to consult in accordance with sections 188 and 188A.

By consent, the tribunal recorded that the scheduled claimants were assigned to an establishment where 20 or more redundancies were proposed within 90 days, and that the respondents did not fully inform and consult with them in accordance with sections 188 and 188A. The tribunal made a protective award for a protected period of 56 days beginning on 31 March 2020, capped at the amount payable by the Redundancy Payments Service.

The parties agreed that amounts payable by the Redundancy Payments Service would be dealt with by it, and that any amounts not payable by the Redundancy Payments Service would rank as ordinary unsecured claims in the administration. No costs or fees order was made, and the consent judgment extinguished the listed claims in their entirety.
