Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim arose from the first respondent's administration and voluntary liquidation. The response described dismissals for redundancy of most employees on 19 February 2018, while the claimant was retained until he was dismissed for redundancy on 24 October 2018. The first respondent did not attend the hearing and the second respondent took a neutral stance.
The claimant gave evidence confirming his claim form and said there had been no consultation with him during his continued employment up to his dismissal. The tribunal was satisfied that there had been a relevant failure to consult by the first respondent, so the claim succeeded.
The tribunal made a protective award for the claimant, requiring the first respondent to pay remuneration for 90 days beginning on 19 February 2018. It stated that no financial award was made at this stage and that quantification, non-payment, or disputes about the amount would need to be pursued separately if required.

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.
