Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal held that the claims of the claimants named in the attached schedule under s.189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 were well founded. The respondent did not attend and did not appear.

Employment Judge Johnson made a protective award in respect of the scheduled claimants who were employees dismissed as redundant on 13 February 2019. The award required the employer to pay remuneration for a protected period beginning on 13 February 2019 and lasting 90 days. The judgment states 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.
