Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThirteen claimants brought complaints under s.189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 against Kingswood Learning & Leisure Limited (in administration), with the Secretary of State for Business and Trade joined as second respondent. The matter was heard at London South by video on 13 February 2026 before Employment Judge C H O'Rourke. The claimants appeared in person; the respondents did not attend and were not represented.
The Tribunal exercised its power under Rule 48 of the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure 2024 to convert the listed preliminary case management hearing into a final hearing, being satisfied that no party was materially prejudiced by the change. The Tribunal found that the complaints under s.189, alleging the First Respondent's failure to comply with the consultation requirements of s.188, were well-founded.
By way of protective award under s.189(3), the Tribunal ordered the First Respondent to pay each of the named claimants remuneration for the period of ninety days beginning 17 January 2025. The Recoupment Regulations 1996 apply.

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.
