Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was made by consent after a joint application by the claimants and the first respondent, with the second respondent consenting. The administrators of the first respondent granted permission for the claims to proceed against the first respondent and lifted the moratorium in relation to those claims.
The tribunal recorded that the claimants were employed by the first respondent and were dismissed by reason of redundancy beginning on 22 May 2020. It found, by consent, that the first respondent failed to adequately comply with a requirement of section 188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, and that the protective award claims under section 189 succeeded.
The first respondent was ordered to pay remuneration to the claimants for a protected period of 60 days beginning on 22 May 2020. Further proceedings were stayed, claims against respondents other than the first respondent were dismissed on withdrawal, no order for costs was made, and the recoupment regulations were stated to apply.

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.
