Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal found that Carluccio’s Limited failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 in relation to the collective redundancy consultation affecting the listed claimants. It therefore declared that the complaint was well founded and made a protective award in respect of the claimants.

The protected period was 80 days beginning on 21 April 2020. The written record states that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 may apply to the award. No monetary amount is stated in the decision text.

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.
