Respondent

(as per schedule) The New School Butterstone

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

No response was presented to the claims, and the administrator consented to the protective award claim proceeding. Employment Judge Susan Walker determined the matter 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, it made a protective award under section 189 of that Act in favour of the claimants.

The award was for a period of 90 days starting on 21 December 2018. The extracted judgment does not state a monetary sum for the award, so no financial total is recorded in the text provided.

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.
