Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimants worked at the First Respondent's establishment in Ashford, Middlesex, and were all made redundant on 16 September 2025. Twenty or more employees were made redundant or placed at risk of redundancy within 90 days of that date. There was no recognised trade union or elected employee representatives at the establishment, and the dismissals took place without consultation.
The Tribunal found that the First Respondent had failed to comply with the consultation requirements of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and that the protective-award claim under section 189 succeeded. The claims were presented within the time limit at section 189(5)(b) of the 1992 Act. Seeing no reason to depart from the principle that protective awards are punitive and should be for the maximum period, the Tribunal ordered the employer to pay each claimant remuneration for a 90-day protected period beginning on 16 September 2025. The Recoupment Regulations apply.

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.
