EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4103147/2019 & others Mr W Colley

Respondent

The New School Butterstone

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

No response was presented to the claims, and the administrator consented to the claim for a protective award proceeding. Employment Judge Susan Walker therefore issued judgment on the available material under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013.

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. On that basis, the tribunal made a protective award under section 189 of the same Act.

The award was made in favour of the claimants for a period of 90 days starting on 21 December 2018. The extracted text does not state any separate monetary sum, only the duration of the protective award.

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.
