EAT ruling on extent of redundancy consultation obligations
Keeping Kids Company v (1) Smith and others (2) Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy [2018] IRLR 484 EAT
redundancy | collective consultation | protective award
In Keeping Kids Company (in compulsory liquidation) v Smith and others, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) ruled that events occurring after redundancy proposals did not excuse a charity's obligation to consult collectively, but could potentially be relied on to reduce the amount of the protective award.
