Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Quill sat alone at Watford by video on 23 February 2022. The tribunal held that none of the Third, Fourth or Tenth Claimants were "appropriate representatives" within the meaning of Regulation 13 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006.
The tribunal found that the claims brought by the Claimants had no reasonable prospects of success and ordered that all of the claims be struck out against both respondents. The final hearing listed for 24 and 25 February 2022 was cancelled.
The tribunal also ordered costs against the Third, Fourth and Tenth Claimants in favour of the Second Respondent. Each was ordered to pay £4,200, with payment to be made by an initial £600 instalment by 16 March 2022 and six further monthly instalments of £600. If any instalment was not paid on time, the full amount owed by that claimant became immediately payable on demand.
