Miss C Ramshaw v
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent stated that it did not contest the claimant's claim for a protective award, and the tribunal issued judgment under rule 21 without a hearing. The tribunal found the complaint of failure to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to be well-founded.
The tribunal found that the respondent proposed to make 91 redundancies at its Olivers Yard site and did not fully inform and consult with the claimant under section 188. It found there was no proper warning or consultation and that no employee representatives were elected or appointed for consultation as required under section 188A.
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy on 15 April 2020, and the tribunal found the claim was presented in time. It made a protective award for the maximum protected period of 90 days beginning on 15 April 2020. The judgment also recorded that, although the claimant ticked a notice pay box, the claim form read as a whole did not include a notice pay claim.

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.
