Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The respondent presented no response, and Employment Judge N. Clarke determined the claims on the papers under Rule 22 after considering the claimants’ 49-page bundle, the Secretary of State’s ET3 and submissions, Kevin Edwards’ witness statement, and the claimants’ submissions. The tribunal found the claimants’ claims that the respondent had failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 in respect of their dismissals to be well-founded.

The respondent was ordered to pay each claimant a protective award under section 189(2) and (3) for a protected period of 90 days beginning with their dismissals on 4 December 2024. No monetary amount was specified. The tribunal also determined that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker’s Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 applied to the awards.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
