Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the tribunal determined the claims under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records that the claim for a protective award under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well-founded because the respondent failed in its duty to consult the claimants and their former colleagues under section 188.

The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay each claimant listed in the schedule remuneration for the protected period of 90 days, starting on 23 August 2024, the date the first dismissal took effect. The judgment also records that the recoupment regulations apply to the protective award.

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.
