Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the claim under Rule 21 because the respondent did not present a response. On the papers, it found that Newco Ventures Limited employed over 20 employees at the relevant site, there was no recognised trade union for collective consultation, and the respondent went into administration on 9 October 2020 after some employees were told the business was closing and that they were being made redundant with immediate effect.

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.
