EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4111562/2019 Mr G O’Neil

Respondent

Granite Rock Casino Ltd

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt with the claim under rule 21 because no response had been presented. The respondent was in creditors voluntary liquidation, and the liquidator, Michael Reid, indicated that he did not intend to defend the claim.

On the available material, Employment Judge Walker 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. The tribunal therefore made a protective award under section 189 of that Act in favour of the claimant.

The award was for a protected period of 90 days starting on 20 June 2019. The extracted judgment does not set out a monetary calculation or a separate sum for the award 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.
