Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the respondents had not complied with the requirements of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. On that basis, it made a declaration that there was a breach of section 188.
The tribunal then made a protective award in respect of all drivers or shunters of Almtone Limited, including its subsidiaries Canute Logistics Ltd, Canute Engineering Ltd and Canute Medical Ltd, based at the Coventry, Retford (Gamston), Lancaster or Newport establishments, who were dismissed between 21 December 2018 and 31 January 2019. The protected period was fixed at 90 days commencing on 21 December 2018. The extracted text does not state any monetary figure for the protective award.

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.
