Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under rule 21 because the first respondent had not presented a response, and the Official Receiver confirmed that the protective award claims would not be contested. The first respondent was in compulsory liquidation, and the High Court had granted permission for the claim to proceed.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was employed as a Regional Manager and that the first respondent employed more than 20 employees in the Regional Manager group. The claimant was not a member of a recognised trade union or bargaining unit. The first respondent went into compulsory liquidation on 23 September 2019, and the claimant was notified of termination of employment on 28 September 2020.
The Tribunal found there had been no proper warning, notice, or consultation with recognised trade unions or the claimant, and no employee representatives had been elected or appointed for consultation under section 188A of the 1992 Act. It held that the first respondent breached section 188 of the 1992 Act and made a protective award for the maximum protected period of 90 days commencing on 23 September 2019.

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.
