The Tribunal gave judgment under Rule 21. It found that Mr Whelan's complaint, and the complaints of all claimants listed in the attached schedule, that the second respondent failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 were well founded.

The Tribunal ordered the second respondent to pay a protective award under section 189(3) of the 1992 Act to Mr Whelan and all scheduled claimants who were dismissed for redundancy from 2 November 2021. The award was remuneration for 90 days beginning on 2 November 2021. The judgment stated that the Recoupment Regulations 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.
