Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

No response had been presented to the claim, and the respondent was in administration. The administrator consented to the protective award claim proceeding, and Employment Judge Walker issued judgment on the available material under rule 21.

The tribunal declared that the respondent had failed to comply with its obligations under sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It therefore made a protective award under section 189 in favour of the claimant for a period of 90 days starting on 27 February 2020.

The extracted judgment also records that the remaining complaints were withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed under rule 52. No monetary figure for the protective 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.
