Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal found the claimants' complaint under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to be well-founded. The complaint concerned the first respondent's failure to comply with the requirements of section 188 of the 1992 Act.

The Tribunal made a protective award under section 189(3) of the 1992 Act against the first respondent. It ordered payment to all claimants listed in the attached schedule equivalent to remuneration for 90 days beginning on 29 January 2018.

The judgment records that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply, with the usual requirements for information to be provided to the Secretary of State and for any applicable recoupment notice process before payment of the relevant remuneration balance.

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.
