Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal declared that the four claimants' claims that the respondent failed to comply with the requirements of s188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 were well-founded. It made a protective award of 90 days' pay for the claimants who were dismissed as redundant on the dates listed in the judgment.
The claims formed part of a larger multiple arising from the insolvency of AMVOC's business, closure of offices in Leeds, Harrogate and Manchester, and redundancies of staff based at those offices. The Tribunal issued judgment only for these four claimants because it accepted their witness evidence at the hearing; the remaining claims were not decided in this judgment because sufficient evidence had not been provided.
