Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a consent judgment. The tribunal recorded that the parties had agreed the terms of the judgment, and it made orders under Rule 64 of the Employment Tribunals Rules.
For the protective award claims, the judgment states that Famously Proper Limited (in administration) failed to adequately comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The protective award claim under section 189 therefore succeeded for the claimants named in Schedule 2 only, and the tribunal ordered remuneration for a protected period of 90 days beginning on 13 January 2023, the date on which the first of the dismissals to which the complaint related took effect.
The remaining protective award claims, listed in Schedule 3, were dismissed on withdrawal. The tribunal also dismissed on withdrawal all of the Claimants' unfair dismissal claims against the First Respondent, all automatic unfair dismissal claims under section 103A ERA 1996, and all detriment claims under section 47B ERA 1996. The judgment states that it does not apply to the remaining section 47B claims against the Second and Third Respondents, and it made no costs order.

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.
