Miss K Arrol v Go-Centric Ltd (In creditors voluntary liquidation) The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. — 2023

This was a Rule 21 judgment on the available material. No response was presented. The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to bring the claim because it concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives and the claimant had been dismissed as redundant.

The tribunal held that the complaint under sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well founded. It found that the respondent had dismissed more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less, and that the respondent failed to ensure employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then consulted with them in accordance with section 188.

The tribunal therefore made a protective award for the employees based at Level 5, Portland House, 17 Renfield Street, Glasgow G2 5AH. The protected period began on 1 December 2022 and was 90 days. The judgment orders the respondent to pay remuneration for that protected period, but the extracted text does not state the monetary amount of the award.
