Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Lawson-Wills withdrew the accrued but unpaid holiday pay claim, and the tribunal recorded that it was dismissed upon withdrawal. The tribunal found the breach of contract claim for notice pay well founded. It held that he was entitled to 8 weeks' notice, that the Redundancy Payment Service had already paid 4 weeks, and that 4 weeks remained outstanding. The First Respondent was ordered to pay £1,050 gross for those 4 weeks.
The tribunal also found well founded the complaint that Skinner's Brewery Co. Limited (in Administration) failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It made a protective award in respect of the Claimant, who was an employee dismissed as redundant with others on or after 30 September 2021. The protected period was 90 days beginning on 30 September 2021. The extracted judgment does not state a separate monetary figure for the protective award.
