Key findings

The claimants listed in the multiple schedule were dismissed as redundant on or about 27 November 2023. A protective award was made for those employees in respect of whose dismissal the employer failed to comply with section 188, with remuneration ordered for a 90-day protected period commencing 27 November 2023.

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.
