Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The judgment records that the claimants were employed by the First Respondent on 3 July 2023, when the First Respondent entered creditors' voluntary liquidation and the claimants were dismissed by reason of redundancy.

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 consult under sections 188 and 188A. The First Respondent accepted that the claimants were assigned to an establishment where 20 or more redundancies were proposed within 90 days, and that it did not fully inform and consult with them in accordance with those provisions.

By consent, the Tribunal made a protective award in favour of each claimant for a protected period of 56 days, beginning on each claimant's termination date as set out in the schedule. The judgment states that the payments are capped at the amount payable by the Redundancy Payments Service, subject to applicable tax and National Insurance deductions, and that there is 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.
