Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThese claims were treated as lead cases arising from collective consultation issues. In earlier judgments referred to by Employment Judge Palmer, the tribunal had already determined that the appropriate protective award period was 30 days beginning on 4 December 2018. This reserved judgment, sent on 30 October 2019 following the 9 October 2019 hearing, applied that determination to the remaining named claimants, including Mr R Pearson in case number 3300575/2019.
The tribunal found that the respondent had failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and ordered a protective award in respect of each claimant for the 30-day period. The judgment records that Mr Hossack had been awarded unfair dismissal remedies in a separate lead case, but no judgment was made at that hearing on Mr Pearson's claim.
The extract does not specify a single monetary figure for Mr Pearson's award. Instead, it records the protective award period and then sets out the recoupment provisions under the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996, including the respondent's duty to provide employee information to the Department for Work and Pensions and the effect of any recoupment notice before payment is made.

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.
