Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal found that the claimant's claim that the respondent failed to comply with the requirements of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 in respect of his dismissal was well founded.

The Tribunal made a protective award under section 189(3) of the 1992 Act. It ordered the respondent to pay the claimant a payment equivalent to remuneration for 90 days beginning on 9 May 2022. The judgment also stated that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker's Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 apply, with the protected period being the same 90-day period beginning on 9 May 2022.

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.
