Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 22 because no response had been presented within the applicable time limit. The respondent was in administration, and the administrator consented to continuation of the proceedings by letter dated 09 January 2026.
The Tribunal found the complaint under sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 well founded. It found that the respondent dismissed more than 20 employees as redundant at one establishment within 45 days or less, that the claimants were dismissed as redundant on 29 July 2025, and that the respondent failed to ensure employee representatives were elected and then consulted.
The Tribunal made a protective award for the claimants as employees dismissed as redundant at the respondent's establishment at 135 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4JS. The protected period begins on 29 July 2025 and lasts for 90 days.

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.
