A Hamilton v Campers Scotland Limited (In Liquidation) — 2026

Employment Judge P O'Donnell issued judgment on the available material under rule 22. No response had been presented within the applicable time limit. The respondent was in compulsory liquidation, but the relevant court granted permission for the continuation of the proceedings on 2 March 2026.

The Tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to bring the claim because the complaint concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives and the claimant was an employee dismissed as redundant. It held that the complaints that the respondent failed to comply with sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 were well founded.

The Tribunal found that the respondent dismissed as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less. It found that the respondent failed to ensure employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then failed to consult with them in accordance with section 188.

The Tribunal made a protective award in respect of employees based at Unit A, West Mains Industrial Estate, Grangemouth FK3 8YE. It ordered the respondent to pay remuneration for the protected period, beginning on 24 December 2024 and lasting for 90 days. The judgment did not state a monetary total or split any award by individual claimant.
