Mr J Hogan and others v Winhall Ltd (In Creditors Voluntary Liquidation) and The Secretary of State for Business and Trade: 1401469/2025 and others
JUDGMENT
PURSUANT TO RULE 22 The first respondent has failed to present a response to the claim. The second respondent has stated that it does not resist the claim. The Employment Judge has decided that having regard to the information in the claim form, the agenda prepared for the purposes of a case management hearing on 19 June 2025 and the information given to the tribunal at that hearing, a determination can properly be made of the claims in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.[1]The claimants’ claims that the first respondent failed to comply with the requirements of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 in respect of their dismissals are well founded.[2]The Tribunal orders the respondent, by way of protective award under section 189(3) of the 1992 Act, to pay to each of the claimants a payment equivalent to remuneration for the period of 90 days beginning on 14 March 2025.[3]The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker’s Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 apply to these awards. In each case the protected period is the period of 90 days beginning on 14 March 2025.[4]A party may apply to vary this judgment within 14 days of the date on which it is served.
