Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 5 August 2020, the tribunal considered the claimants' complaint under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that the first respondent had failed to comply with the consultation requirements in section 188. The first and second respondents did not appear. Employment Judge Shepherd found the complaint well-founded.
The tribunal ordered the first respondent, by way of protective award under section 189(3), to pay remuneration to all claimants named in the attached schedule for a period of 90 days beginning on 25 September 2019. The judgment also recorded that the Employment Protection (Recruitment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 applied, with their effect set out in the annex to 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.
