Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 because no response had been presented. The joint liquidators of the respondent advised by email on 15 February 2022 that they had no comment to make. The judgment records that the respondent was in creditors voluntary liquidation, with Mr Alistair McAlinden and Mr Blair Nimmo appointed joint liquidators on or around 29 April 2021.
The tribunal found that the complaint that the respondent failed to comply with section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well founded. It found that on or around 2 April 2021 the claimants were notified that their employment was ending by reason of redundancy, but no consultation or notice was given before termination. The claimants were dismissed on 2 April 2021.
The tribunal also found that the respondent dismissed more than 20 employees by reason of redundancy within a 90-day period, and that all of the employees were based at the same establishment at 101 Abercorn Street, Paisley PA3 4AT. It held that a protective award should be made in respect of the former employees dismissed as redundant on 2 April 2021.
The protected period was fixed at 90 days beginning on 2 April 2021. No monetary sum for the protective award is stated in the extracted text, so the judgment can be treated as establishing liability and the length of the protected period, but not an extracted figure for the award amount.

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.
