Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought 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 video hearing; the second respondent, listed as an interested party, also did not attend.
The Employment Judge found that the claimant was entitled to pursue a protective award under section 189(1)(d) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, and that the complaint that the first respondent failed to comply with a requirement of section 188 of the 1992 Act was well founded.
The Tribunal 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 him remuneration for a protected period of 90 days beginning on that date. No specific monetary figure was stated in the judgment.

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.
