Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 07 November 2019, the tribunal recorded that both respondents accepted that Mr Santos's unfair dismissal claim was well-founded. The single liability issue was whether he had been assigned to the relevant organised grouping of employees that was subject to a transfer from the first respondent to the second respondent.
The tribunal held that the claimant's contract of employment transferred from Exclusive Contract Services Limited to Cleanbrite Commercial & Retail Cleaning Limited by way of a transfer of undertakings taking effect on 03 February 2019. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the second respondent requested written reasons to be provided in due course. The judgment does not record any monetary remedy.

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.
