Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not enter a response to the claims and did not attend the hearing. Employment Judge Ferguson, sitting alone, held that each claimant's complaint under s.189(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well-founded.
The tribunal set the protected period for each claimant as 10 December 2020 to 9 March 2021. It made protective awards for the attending claimants based on their net pay during that protected period, with individual awards listed in the judgment.
For the claimants who did not attend the hearing, the tribunal required them to provide details of the net pay they would have received during the protected period within 14 days so that their protective awards could be quantified.

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.
