Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone before Employment Judge Ferguson on 18 September 2019, determined complaints brought by Mr N MacGregor and others under s.189(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It found that each claimant’s complaint was well-founded.
The judgment records a single protected period for each claimant: 9 February 2018 to 10 May 2018. No further narrative reasoning is set out in the written decision, which states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.
The tribunal awarded each claimant a protective award in the amounts set out in the judgment. The individual awards ranged from £4,623.84 to £21,781.15, and the total of the awards listed is £150,773.20. The respondent did not appear, and no separate remedy analysis beyond the listed awards is recorded in the written judgment.

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.
