Number: 4103575/2025 & Others (As per the attached schedule) M Ward & Others (As per the attached schedule) v Greenfold Systems Ltd co FRP Advisory Trading Ltd (In Administration) — 2025

The tribunal dealt with the case on the available material under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. It found the claimants were entitled to bring the complaint because it concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives, and because the claimants were employees dismissed as redundant. No response was presented within the applicable time limit. The respondent was in administration, and the administrator consented to the continuation of the proceedings by letter dated 20 October 2025.

The tribunal held that the complaint that the respondent failed to comply with sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well founded. It found that the respondent dismissed as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 45 days or less, and that the claimants were dismissed as redundant on 10 July 2025. It also found that the respondent failed to ensure that employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then to consult with them in accordance with section 188.

The tribunal accordingly made a protective award in respect of the claimants as employees dismissed as redundant at the respondent’s establishment at Pitreavie Business Park, Pitreavie Crescent, Dunfermline, KY11 8UQ. The protected period began on 10 July 2025 and lasted for 90 days. The extracted judgment states that the respondent was ordered to pay remuneration for the protected period, but no monetary figure is set out in the text provided.
