Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Miller, sitting with Mr G Corbett and Ms Y Fisher, heard the case at Hull by CVP on 15, 16, 17 and 19 November 2021. The tribunal held that Locala Homecare Ltd, the first respondent, failed to comply with regulation 14 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. It further held that Choices Homecare Ltd, the second respondent, did not fail to comply with regulation 13 or regulation 14 of TUPE 2006.
The tribunal ordered the respondents to pay each claimant other than the first claimant, UNISON, compensation equivalent to two weeks' pay. The written record stated that, if the parties could not agree the amount payable to each claimant by 10 December 2021, they were to write to the tribunal and to each other identifying what remained in dispute and why.

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.
