Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded the claim as one alleging non-compliance with sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. Having had regard to the representations of the Secretary of State, who had been joined under rule 95, and to the consent of the Administrator for the proceedings to continue, the tribunal determined the complaint was well founded.
A protective award was made in favour of the claimants named in the schedule to the judgment. The award was for a period of 90 days and began on 29 November 2024.
The judgment also records that the recoupment provisions apply. No separate monetary figure is set out in the judgment text provided, so the award is recorded by reference to the protective award period rather than a stated sum.

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.
