Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

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

The tribunal found that Singleton's Dairy Limited, in Administration, failed in its duty to consult the claimants under section 188 of that Act. The first respondent was ordered to pay each claimant listed in the schedule remuneration for a protected period of 90 days starting on 22 August 2022.

The judgment states that the recoupment regulations apply and includes the standard annex explaining recoupment of benefits. It does not state a quantified monetary award for any claimant or an aggregate total.

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.
