Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr J Pallagi was unfairly dismissed by the second respondent, Farmison & Co Limited, and that the principal reason for the dismissal was a relevant transfer under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. Compensation for unfair dismissal was set at a basic award of £9,645 and a compensatory award capped at £105,707.
The tribunal also found that the first respondent, FL Meat Realisations Limited, failed to comply with its obligations to inform and consult under regulations 13 and 14 of TUPE. On that basis, and with the respondents jointly and severally liable, the tribunal ordered payment of £30,000, described in the judgment as 13 weeks' pay.
The written record states that the Recoupment Regulations applied to the unfair dismissal award. The prescribed element was £105,707, the prescribed period ran from 6 April 2023 to 21 August 2024, and the excess of the total unfair dismissal award over the prescribed element was £9,645.

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.
