Frequently asked questions
How many redundancy claims are brought in the UK?
Our database holds 1,367 published redundancy employment tribunal decisions. This reflects judgments published on GOV.UK, which are a subset of all claims brought (many settle or are withdrawn before a published judgment).
What percentage of redundancy claims succeed?
Across published redundancy decisions in our database, the claimant succeeded or partly succeeded in 72% of cases. Published judgments over-represent contested cases, so this is not a success rate for all claims filed.
What is the average payout for a redundancy claim?
Among redundancy decisions with a recorded award, the median award is £4,134 and the mean is £6,771.54. The mean is pulled up by a small number of very large awards, so the median is the more representative figure.
What was the largest redundancy award?
The largest recorded award among published redundancy decisions in our database is £121,950.
Common patterns in successful redundancy cases
These patterns are drawn from recent redundancy decisions where the claimant succeeded or partly succeeded and a monetary award is visible. They highlight the issues that appear most in awarded wins, not every redundancy claim.
Alternatives not considered
Cases where dismissal was unfair because the employer did not genuinely look for suitable alternative employment or consider redeployment.
Failure to consult
Cases where the employer failed to carry out meaningful individual or collective consultation before making redundancies.
Protective award
Claims brought where the employer failed to comply with collective information and consultation obligations under TULRCA, resulting in a protective award of up to 90 days' pay.
Unfair selection for redundancy
Cases where the selection pool, criteria, or scoring was flawed, biased, or not genuinely applied — often alongside an unfair dismissal claim.

How to read this page
This page brings together recent redundancy examples, the employers that recur, and the compensation context around them.
Redundancy judgments often overlap with unfair dismissal, protective award, or consultation issues, so the surrounding claim mix can be as important as the redundancy tag itself.
The figures here are based on published judgments currently visible in Tribunal Intel, not every claim filed in the employment tribunal system.
