Ruling is a key win for Debenhams workers who have referred complaints en masse under the Protection of Employment Act 1977

Ms Crowe was the main test case for between 750 and 800 former staff represented by Mandate, who have referred complaints en masse under the Protection of Employment Act 1977, as amended by European Communities Regulations, 2000.

He said the “fragility” of the business in the context of public health measures and the loss of financial support from the UK demanded that consultation should have started “no later” than April 9th, and that to get going on the 17th “was not in good time”. He said Gerry Light, the union’s then-divisional organiser, had been given “everything that was asked for” except for the details of some landlords, who he said were not identifiable on privacy grounds.

In his decision, adjudicating officer Mr Dalton found “meaningful information was not shared” and that there was “no material change” to any element of the redundancy plan as it was first set out, nor any “mitigation to limit the effects”.
