Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal found the claimants' complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 well founded, on the basis that the respondent had failed to comply with the requirements of section 188 of that Act.

The Tribunal made a protective award under section 189(3), ordering the respondent to pay the claimants listed in Schedule C remuneration for 90 days beginning on 21 December 2018. The judgment states that the Recoupment Regulations apply.

All other claims raised by the claimants were stayed. The judgment provided that those claims would stand dismissed on 6 August 2020 unless an application to lift the stay and relist the cases was made by 5 August 2020.

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.
