Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place on 6 March 2020 before Employment Judge Alliott at Watford. Neither respondent attended. The first respondent was in administration, and the administrator had consented to the proceedings continuing by letter dated 25 June 2019. The second respondent had indicated in its response that it did not propose to be represented at the hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant first knew about his redundancy on 5 April 2018, when he was dismissed with immediate effect. It found a total failure to comply with the statutory obligations to consult under section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1992. The judgment records that the claimant's basic salary was £52,500 per annum, or £1,009 per week, that there were no trade union representatives or elected representatives, that over 20 employees were dismissed as redundant at Swan Court, Staines, and that the claimant was eligible to bring the claim.
On that basis, the tribunal held that a complete failure to consult made it just and equitable to award a protective period of 90 days beginning on 5 April 2018. The judgment ordered the first respondent to pay a protective award of £12,945.20. The reasons section also records the calculation as £52,500 ÷ 365 x 90 = £12,945.50.

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.
