Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found the claimants' complaints well-founded that the respondent failed to comply with the requirements of section 188(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 concerning consultation about proposed dismissals.
The Tribunal made a protective award under section 189 of the 1992 Act. The award requires the respondent to pay remuneration to each claimant for a protected period of 90 days from 12 June 2023, and the judgment states that the Recoupment Regulations apply.

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.
