Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Kelly, sitting alone on 25 and 26 November 2024, made a declaration under section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that the claimants' claims were well-founded insofar as they related to redundancies made from the first respondent's Coventry site. The tribunal found that a protective award should be made for the Unite the Union and GMB Union bargaining units comprised of employees in labour roles at that site, excluding office and clerical staff.
The protective award was set at 90 days and was to take effect from the date of dismissal for those dismissals in the bargaining unit made by the first respondent in May 2020. No monetary figure is stated in the extracted judgment, so the award is recorded here as a non-specified protective award rather than a quantified sum.
The judgment also dismisses the claims in case numbers 1306292/2020, 1306331/2020, 1306418/2020, 1306751/2020, 1307033/2020, 1307034/2020 and 1307035/2020. The extracted final order does not identify the legal basis of those individual claims, and the judgment states that written reasons were requested and would follow shortly.

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.
