Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was made by consent under Rule 64 after a joint application by or on behalf of the 58 claimants and the First Respondent, with the Second Respondent not objecting. The tribunal recorded that the claimants were employed by Missguided Limited, which later changed its name to MGL Realisations (2022) Limited, and that MGL Realisations (2022) Limited was the correct respondent.
The administrators of the First Respondent consented to the protective award claims proceeding despite the First Respondent being in administration. For each claimant in the schedule, the tribunal recorded that MGL Realisations (2022) Limited failed to adequately comply with a requirement of section 188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, and that the protective award claim under section 189 succeeded.
The tribunal ordered the First Respondent to pay remuneration to the scheduled claimants for a protected period of 56 days beginning on 30 May 2022, the date on which the first of the dismissals to which the complaint related took effect. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker's Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 apply, and there was 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.
