Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy consent judgment dated 4 October 2021, the tribunal recorded that the claimants listed in the schedule were employed by AL Realisation Limited (in administration), formerly Laura Ashley Limited, and were dismissed by reason of redundancy on 16 June 2020. The claims were brought under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 for a protective award arising from alleged failures to consult.
The parties agreed that the claimants were assigned to an establishment where 20 or more redundancies were proposed within a period of 90 days, and that Respondent 1 did not fully inform and consult with them in accordance with sections 188 and 188A of the Act. The tribunal therefore made a protective award against Respondent 1 for a protected period of 30 days, with the period agreed to begin on 16 June 2020.
The judgment stated that the award was capped at the amount payable by the Redundancy Payments Service, subject to deductions required by law, and that the Recoupment Regulations applied. It also recorded that there was no order for costs or fees, and that the claims in the schedule were extinguished in their entirety by the consent judgment.

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.
