Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal substituted Mr Hamish Skene as the lead claimant under Rule 36(4). The respondent's administrators notified the tribunal that they consented to the claims proceeding, and the hearing on 26 July 2021 proceeded with oral evidence from Mr Hamish Skene and Mr Kevin Conn, together with oral submissions from the claimants' solicitor. The respondent did not attend.
The tribunal found that the claims against the respondent were well-founded and declared that the respondent had breached its duties under ss.188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The decision is framed as a collective protective award claim rather than an individual dismissal or discrimination claim.
Under s.189(2) of the 1992 Act, the tribunal made a protective award in respect of the listed claimants. It ordered the respondent to pay remuneration for a protected period of 90 days beginning on 14 December 2020, in a sum equal to 90 days' pay for each claimant within the award. The written record does not set out a single aggregate monetary total.

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.
