The judgment was made under Rule 21 and concerned only the second claimant, case number 3202064/2023, and the fifth claimant, case number 3202164/2023.
The tribunal found their complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 well-founded, on the basis that the respondent failed to comply with the requirements of section 188. The second and fifth claimants confirmed under oath that they were based at the London office, in an establishment where more than 20 staff were made redundant, and that they were not represented by a trade union or employee representative.
The tribunal also referred to an HR1 form stating that 134 employees were affected by redundancy at the London office. The second and fifth claimants were awarded protective awards of £5,144 each, calculated as eight weeks' pay at £643 per week.
