Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out Mr Richard Murray's claims in their entirety under rule 37(1)(d), after he was given an opportunity to show cause why the claims should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued and no response or request for a hearing was received.

For Mr Mark Twiddy, Mr Wayne Gray, Mr Stephen Morris and Mr Perry Hooker, the tribunal found that their employment transferred from Menzies Aviation (UK) Limited to Aeroco Group International Limited by operation of Regulation 3(1)(b)(ii) of TUPE 2006. The claims against Menzies Aviation (UK) Limited were dismissed and that respondent was dismissed from the proceedings.

The unfair dismissal claims brought by Mr Twiddy, Mr Gray and Mr Morris under Part 10 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 were found to be well founded and succeeded against Aeroco Group International Limited. Mr Hooker's unfair dismissal claim was dismissed on withdrawal, while his claims for notice pay and holiday pay were directed to proceed to a later hearing. A remedy hearing was listed for 5-7 December 2023.

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.
