Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a Rule 22 judgment on the available material. No response was presented within the applicable time limit, and the administrator had granted consent for the claims to proceed on 5 November 2025. The tribunal accepted that the complaint concerned the respondent's alleged failure to comply with its duty to inform and consult under section 188 and section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
The tribunal found the complaint well founded. It found that Seraphine Limited dismissed as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less, and that it failed to ensure employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then to consult with them in accordance with section 188. The tribunal therefore made a protective award in favour of Mr R Taylor in respect of the respondent's site at 265 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7RQ.
The judgment records that the protected period begins on 7 July 2025 and lasts for 90 days. The extracted text does not state a monetary sum for the award, so no total or component amount can be extracted from the judgment text supplied.

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.
