Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal, sitting at East London Hearing Centre on 24 May 2023, heard that the respondent did not enter an appearance and did not attend. It found that Mid Group Services Limited had failed to comply with section 188 and section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 by failing to make arrangements for the election of employee representatives and by failing to consult its employees when proposing to dismiss as redundant 20 or more employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less.
The tribunal was satisfied that the claimants named in the judgment and set out in Schedule A were affected employees and were entitled to the declaration and a protective award. It ordered the respondent to pay each claimant a protective award of their remuneration, expressed as gross pay, for the protected period of 90 days from 25 July 2022. The extracted text does not state an aggregate monetary total or a separated per-claim figure beyond that formulation.

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.
