Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a Rule 22 judgment on the available material because the respondent, Mental Health Aberdeen (In Liquidation), did not contest the claims. The claimants were employees dismissed as redundant at the respondent's site at 12 Carden Place, Aberdeen, and there was no recognised trade union involved. The judge found that the claimants were entitled to bring the claim because it concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives.
The tribunal found that the respondent dismissed 20 or more employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less, that it failed to ensure employee representatives were elected in accordance with s.188A, and that it then failed to consult with them in accordance with s.188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. On that basis, the complaint that the respondent failed to comply with s.188 was held to be well founded.
A protective award was made in respect of the claimants, and the respondent was ordered to pay remuneration for the protected period. The judgment states that the protected period is 90 days beginning on 24 July 2025, although paragraph 5 of the reasons refers to 24 July 2024.

| Other | Protective award under s.188 and s.188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The tribunal ordered remuneration for the protected period, but the extracted text does not state a monetary sum. The reasons section contains an apparent date inconsistency: the protected period is described as beginning on 24 July 2025 in the judgment, but paragraph 5 of the reasons refers to 24 July 2024. | Upheld | — | — |

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.
