Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimants were employed at the Respondents' Elkesley site and were dismissed on 21 December 2018 when the Canute Group ceased operations. The tribunal found that more than 80 employees were made redundant at that site on the same day, that no notice or redundancy pay was paid by the company, and that all of the claims were presented in time with early conciliation certificates. No claimants, respondents, or the Secretary of State attended the hearing, so the tribunal determined the matter on the papers.

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.
