Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment records that the claimant was employed by the Third Respondent and was dismissed by reason of redundancy. Administrators had been appointed for the First, Second, Third and Fifth Respondents before the consent judgment.
The claimant brought a complaint under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 seeking a protective award for failure to consult under sections 188 and 188A. The parties accepted that the claimant was assigned to an establishment where 20 or more redundancies were proposed within 90 days, and that the Third Respondent did not fully inform and consult with the claimant in accordance with those provisions.
By consent, the Tribunal made a protective award in favour of the claimant for a protected period of 10 days, beginning on the claimant's termination date as set out in the schedule and capped at the amount payable by the Redundancy Payments Service subject to its regulations, limits, and deductions required by law. The judgment made no order for costs or fees.

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.
