Mr A Hull & others as per attached schedule v Filmhouse Trading Limited (In Administration) — 2023

The tribunal issued this as a Rule 21 judgment on the available material because no response was presented within the time limit. It recorded that the respondent was in administration, but the administrator had consented to the continuation of the proceedings by letter dated 18 January 2023. The tribunal also held that the claimant was entitled to bring the claim because none of the situations in s.189(1)(a), (b) or (c) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 applied and the claimant had been dismissed as redundant.

The tribunal found that the complaint under s.188 TULRCA 1992 was well founded. It accepted that the respondent dismissed more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less, and that there had been no consultation at all with the appropriate representatives of affected employees. On that basis, it made a protective award in respect of each claimant.

The protected period was held to begin on 6 October 2022 and to last for 90 days. The extracted text does not state a separate monetary figure for the award, only that remuneration is payable for the protected period.
