Frequently asked questions

How many redundancy claims are brought in the UK?

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.

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.
