Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal recorded that the first respondent failed to comply with its obligations to consult with employee representatives as required by s.188 Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The respondents did not attend and were not represented at the hearing.

The claimants were each held entitled to a protective award under s.189 of that Act. The judgment states that the protected period begins on 19 October 2023 and that its length is 90 days. No monetary award or apportioned sum is stated in the judgment.

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.
