Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr D Lilley succeeded on his breach of contract complaint. The tribunal ordered Ford Component Manufacturing Limited (In Liquidation) to pay him £2,270.50 as compensation for breach of contract.

The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to comply with a requirement of section 188 or section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It ordered the respondent to pay remuneration calculated in accordance with section 190 of that Act for the protected period from 19 December 2019 to 17 March 2020.

The judgment records that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseekers Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 applied. It states that regulation 6 imposed a duty on the respondent to provide information to the Secretary of State, and that regulation 7 postponed the award to allow the Secretary of State to serve a recoupment notice under regulation 8.

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.
