Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously found that the claimant was assigned to the organised grouping of employees immediately before the transfer and transferred under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 from the first respondent to the second respondent on 5 July 2021. It also found that both respondents failed to inform and consult the claimant as required by regulation 13, with joint and several liability for that award under regulation 15(9).
The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed by the second respondent on 5 July 2021. It also found that the second respondent breached the claimant's contract by dismissing him without notice or pay in lieu of notice, and made an unauthorised deduction of one day's pay for 5 July 2021.
The claimant's statutory redundancy payment claim was dismissed because it was not pursued. Apart from the information and consultation finding, the claimant's other claims against the first respondent were dismissed. The written judgment records the liability and remedy decisions but states that reasons were given orally and written reasons would only be provided if requested.

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.
