Mr P Bunce
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr P Bunce brought a protective award claim against Linkline Transport Limited (in administration) under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The tribunal found the claim well-founded because the respondent failed in its duty to consult the claimant and his former colleagues under section 188 of that Act.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay remuneration for the protected period of 8 weeks starting on 18 June 2024, being the date the first dismissal took effect. It also stated that the Recoupment Regulations apply and included the standard recoupment information in the annex to the judgment.

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.
