Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal, sitting in chambers at Plymouth on 29 April 2020, recorded that the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. It therefore entered judgment under Rule 21.
The tribunal found that Mr John Gallagher was unfairly dismissed by reason of his trade union membership and/or activities. It also held that his breach of contract claim succeeded in respect of notice pay.
The judgment did not determine the amount of compensation at that stage. It stated that the appropriate remedy would be decided at a later hearing on notice.

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.
