Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal held that Unite the Union's complaint under s.188 TULRA 1992 was well founded. It found, for the avoidance of doubt, that all employees were made redundant on 1 May 2019.

Under s.189(4) TULRA 1992, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay remuneration for a 90-day period from 1 May 2019 to all employees made redundant on that date. The extract records the duration of the protective award but does not give a cash amount.

Because the collective claim succeeded, all individual claims seeking a protective award were dismissed, including those named claimants 2 to 11 in claim number 2303578/2019.

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.
