Tribunal's reasoningThe 11 claimants brought claims for protective awards against AUK Realisations 2024 Limited (formerly Amscan International Limited, in administration). The judgment was issued by consent of the claimants and the Second Respondent.
The Tribunal found that the Second Respondent had failed adequately to comply with the consultation requirements of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and that the protective-award claims under section 189 succeeded. It ordered the Second Respondent to pay each claimant remuneration for a 90-day protected period beginning on 16 July 2024, the date of the first relevant dismissal. All other claims and complaints against the Second and Third Respondents were dismissed upon withdrawal; this did not affect any claims against the First Respondent (JDS 64 Limited).

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.
