Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal (Employment Judge George with Mr A Kapur and Dr C Whitehouse) found that British Airways plc had failed to pay the two claimants - both trade union representatives - in accordance with s.169 TULRCA 1992 for reasonable time off they were permitted to take during working hours for the purpose of carrying out trade union duties under s.168 TULRCA. The complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages were also well-founded.
The complaints of detriment on grounds related to trade union membership or activities under s.146 TULRCA were not well-founded and were dismissed.
Quantum on the successful claims was to be assessed at a separate remedy hearing. PDF text was truncated; the full reasoning on individual issues is not entirely visible in the available extract.

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.
