Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Teesside Justice Hearing Centre on 5 March 2020 before Employment Judge Johnson with lay members Mr G Baines and Mr M Ratcliffe. The claims were brought by Mr G Finnegan and Mr T Couling against Teams Roofing Limited (in administration), and the respondent did not attend or appear.
The tribunal held that each claimant's complaint that the respondent failed to comply with section 188 or section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well-founded. It recorded that the claimants had been dismissed as redundant on or after 2 September 2019 and that the relevant protected period was 90 days running from 2 September 2019 to 1 December 2019.
The judgment ordered the respondent to pay each claimant remuneration calculated in accordance with section 190 of the 1992 Act. It also states that the recoupment provisions apply. No fixed monetary total is stated in the extracted judgment text.

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.
