Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimants were employees of Glasgow Airport Ltd and members of Unite. They brought claims under sections 145A and 145B TULRCA arising from a 31 May 2019 letter issued after consultation about closure of the defined benefit pension scheme. The letter stated that AGS Airports Ltd and the participating employers had decided to close the DB scheme to future accrual from 30 June 2019 and enrol active members in the DC scheme from 1 July 2019. It also said the company would pay a one-off lump sum in July payroll, subject to stated criteria, including a warning that if notice of industrial action were served and contingency arrangements had to be deployed, the company would need to reconsider whether to make payment.

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.
