Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to pursue a claim for a protective award as an affected employee who had been dismissed as redundant. The first respondent had entered no response and did not attend the hearing; the second respondent, an interested party, also did not attend.
The Tribunal held that the complaint that the first respondent failed to comply with a requirement of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well founded. It made a protective award in respect of the claimant, who was dismissed as redundant on 24 October 2022.
The first respondent was ordered to pay the claimant remuneration for a protected period of 90 days beginning on 24 October 2022. The judgment did not state a monetary total for the award.

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.
