Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn this Rule 21 judgment, the tribunal found that Aero Technics Ltd failed to comply with its obligations under s.188 and s.188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 in relation to consultation with employees or employee representatives about redundancy. The claimant, Mr M Hardwick, was therefore entitled to a protective award.
The tribunal also found that there were no mitigating circumstances to justify reducing the award. It accordingly made a protective award of 90 days in favour of the claimant, covering the protected period from 17 July 2020 to 15 October 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.
