Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal, sitting with Employment Judge L Doherty, held that Urquhart And Co (PHE) Limited (in Liquidation) had failed to comply with section 188(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The judgment records that a protective award would be made under section 189(3) of TULCRA in respect of employees who had been dismissed as redundant, or whose dismissal or proposed dismissal was the subject of the failure to consult.
The tribunal stated that the protected period began on 8 October 2018 and lasted for 90 days. The extracted judgment does not set out any separate monetary figure or individualised award in the text provided, only the making of the protective award and the protected period to which it related.

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.
