Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that Robert Woodhead Ltd, in creditors voluntary liquidation, failed to comply with the requirements of sections 188-190 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The complaint for a protective award was therefore well-founded and succeeded in respect of all employees employed at the Edwinstowe House, Edwinstowe, Mansfield establishment.
The Tribunal ordered Robert Woodhead Ltd to pay remuneration as a protective award to that class of employees, including the named claimants in the schedule and employees not listed but based at the Edwinstowe establishment. The protective award was for 90 days beginning on 14 September 2022, the date on which the first relevant dismissals took effect.

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.
