Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment records that the claimant and first respondent consented under Rule 64 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 to disposal of the claim on the stated terms. The Secretary of State was joined as statutory guarantor only and neither supported nor resisted the claims.
The Tribunal found that the scheduled claimants were employed by the respondent, that joint administrators were appointed on 3 September 2020, and that the claimants were dismissed by reason of redundancy on 4 September 2020. It found that the respondent did not fully inform and consult with the claimants in accordance with sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
The Tribunal made a protective award in favour of the employees listed in the schedule, ordering the respondent to pay remuneration for a protected period of 56 days beginning on each claimant's redundancy date. It made no order for costs or fees and stated that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply to the award.

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.
