Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a Rule 21 judgment in which the tribunal held that the respondent had failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. On that basis, the claim for a protective award succeeded.

The tribunal made a protective award in respect of the claimants who worked at the respondent’s establishment at Morecroft House, Willie Snaith Road, Newmarket, Suffolk, and who were dismissed as redundant on or after 23 May 2023. The protected period was stated to begin on 23 May 2023 and to last for 90 days.

The judgment records that the Recoupment Regulations apply. No separate monetary figure for the award is stated in the extracted text.

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.
