Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe consent judgment records that the claimant was employed by Laura Ashley Limited, later renamed AL Realisations Limited, and was dismissed by reason of redundancy on 4 September 2020. 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 Tribunal recorded that the claimant was assigned to an establishment where 20 or more redundancies were proposed within 90 days, and that the First and Second Respondents did not fully inform and consult with the claimant in accordance with sections 188 and 188A. It made a protective award for a protected period of 10 days, beginning on the termination date and subject to the Redundancy Payments Service limits and any deductions required by law.
The judgment states that there was no order for costs or fees and that each party would bear its own costs and fees. It also states that the consent judgment applied only to the claimant listed in the schedule and extinguished that claim in its entirety.

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.
