Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge decided the case on the available material under rule 22. The respondent, Axis Productions Limited (In Administration), did not present a response within the time limit, and the administrator consented to the continuation of the proceedings by email dated 17 January 2025. The claimant was entitled to bring the claim because it concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives and the claimant had been dismissed as redundant.
The tribunal found the complaints that the respondent failed to comply with s.188 and s.188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to be well founded. It found that the respondent had dismissed as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less, but had failed to ensure that employee representatives were elected in accordance with s.188A and then to consult with them in accordance with s.188.
The tribunal therefore made a protective award in respect of employees based at 8 Elliot Place, Glasgow G3 8EP. The protected period was 90 days and began on 26 July 2024. The extracted judgment does not state a monetary sum for the award.

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.
