Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal held that the claims for a protective award were well founded and succeeded in respect of all claimants listed in Schedule 1.
The Tribunal found it just and equitable to make an award for the maximum period of 90 days because of the seriousness of the default. The judgment records that the First Respondent wholly failed to inform or consult its employees and offered no explanation for that failure. The protected period began on 3 October 2024.

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.
