The Labour Court allowed Debenhams Retail (Ireland) Limited (In Liquidation)’s appeal and set aside a €900 compensation award to Breda Cox over a complaint about consultation requirements for proposed collective redundancies. The decision was signed on 27 November 2025. The Court considered a High Court ruling in a case accepted as having identical facts and circumstances, which held that consultation could begin with the provision of information before the first consultative meeting. Cox withdrew her appeal and did not contest the company’s appeal.
