Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting in Glasgow on 9 July 2019 before Employment Judge Mary Kearns, dealt with a group of linked cases brought by Mr R Cummings and others against Walker MacLeod Limited (In Liquidation). The judgment records that there were ten claimants, including Unite the Union, and that the respondent was the sole respondent in the proceedings.
The tribunal held that the respondent had failed to comply with its obligations under sections 188A and 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. On that basis, it made a protective award under section 189 of that Act in favour of the claimants.
The protective award was for a period of 90 days starting on 20 December 2018. The judgment does not set out any separate monetary figure in the extracted text, and no split of the award is given between the individual claimants.

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.
