Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal held that the claimant's claim for notice pay was made out. It found that he had been employed for 11 full years from 6 July 2011 to 8 September 2022, was entitled to 11 weeks' statutory notice under section 86 Employment Rights Act 1996, and was owed £6,179.78 after deduction of £570.92 paid by the Insolvency Service.
The Tribunal also held that the complaint under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 succeeded because the respondent failed to comply with section 188. It found there had been a complete failure to consult and nothing before it to mitigate that failure, so it made the maximum protective award of 90 days' remuneration, calculated at £7,890.43 if paid by the first respondent.
The Tribunal further held that the claimant's breach of contract claim for unpaid expenses was made out in the sum of £479.60. The total sum recorded as owed was £14,549.81, with the recoupment regulations applying to 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.
