Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was determined under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Procedure Rules 2024 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Judge Callan, sitting alone in Manchester by telephone on 22 October 2025, found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy on 28 March 2025 and was owed a statutory redundancy payment.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to undertake consultation with the affected employees in accordance with the statutory provisions. The claimant was one of 27 employees made redundant, and his application for a protective award under section 189(3) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 succeeded. As the respondent had not presented a response and offered no mitigation, the tribunal considered the 90 days maximum protective award appropriate, with the protected period commencing on 27 February 2025.
The respondent was ordered to pay a statutory redundancy payment of £6,110 and a protective award of £6,043, totalling £12,153.

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.
