EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4100732/2019 & others as per multiple ref 8925 GMB Scotland
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response had been presented to the claims. The respondent was in administration, and the joint administrator confirmed by letter dated 12 July 2019 that he did not object to the claims continuing and did not intend to defend them. The Employment Judge therefore issued judgment on the available material under rule 21.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It found that on or around 13 August 2018 the claimants were notified that their employment was ending by reason of redundancy, that no consultation or notice had been given before termination, and that the claimants were dismissed on or around that date.
The tribunal also found that the respondent dismissed more than 20 employees by reason of redundancy within a 90-day period, and that all were based at the same establishment. It held that there should be a protective award in respect of such former employees dismissed as redundant on or around 13 August 2018, and fixed the protected period at 90 days beginning on 13 August 2018. The extracted judgment does not state the amount of any award.

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.
