Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimants listed in the schedule were all employed by the Fifth Respondent, Texplan Manufacturing Limited (in administration). They were dismissed by reason of redundancy between 26 June 2020 and 28 August 2020.
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 inform and consult in accordance with sections 188 and 188A. The judgment records that the listed claimants were assigned to an establishment where 20 or more redundancies were proposed within 90 days, and that the Fifth Respondent did not fully inform and consult with them under those provisions.
By consent, the Tribunal made a protective award in favour of the listed claimants for a protected period of 35 days, beginning on each claimant's individual termination date and subject to the Redundancy Payments Service limits and any deductions required by law. The judgment records that the scheduled claims were extinguished in their entirety by the consent judgment, with 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.
