Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal held that the claimant's claim was well founded. The claim was that Cleveland Bridge UK Limited (in administration) failed to comply with the requirements of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 in respect of the claimant's dismissal.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a protective award under section 189(3) of the 1992 Act, equivalent to remuneration for 90 days beginning on 15 September 2021. The judgment also recorded that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker's Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 applied to the award, and set out the respondent's obligations before payment would be required.

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.
