A Grant v Axis Productions Limited (In Administration) — 2025

The Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because no response was presented within the applicable time limit. The respondent was in administration, but the administrator consented to the continuation of the proceedings by email dated 17 January 2025. The tribunal recorded that the claimant was an employee dismissed as redundant and that the complaint concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives.

The tribunal found the complaints that the respondent failed to comply with section 188 and section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to be well founded. It found that the respondent dismissed more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less, but failed to ensure that employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then failed to consult with them in accordance with section 188.

The tribunal therefore made a protective award in respect of employees based at 8 Elliot Place, Glasgow G3 8EP. It ordered the respondent to pay remuneration for the protected period. The protected period begins on 26 July 2024 and lasts for 90 days. No separate monetary sum was stated in the extracted text.
