Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal gave judgment under Rule 21. It found that the complaints seeking a protective award under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 were well founded.

The Tribunal found that the first respondent failed in its duty to consult the claimants under section 188 of that Act. It ordered the first respondent to pay each claimant listed in the schedule remuneration for a protected period of 90 days starting on 11 April 2022, the date the first dismissals took effect.

The judgment stated that the recoupment regulations apply and included the standard annex explaining the respondent's duties to provide information to the Secretary of State and the operation of any recoupment notice.

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.
