The High Court has granted an injunction which will make it illegal for former Debenhams workers to stop liquidators KPMG from removing stock from the 11 shuttered stores.

The workers, who were made redundant earlier this year, say that the proceeds from the stock must be used to pay them two weeks salary per year of service as was previously agreed by the floundering retail giant.
