The tribunal found that the claimants were employed by Balmoral Knitwear (Scotland) Limited and that administrators were appointed on 14 February 2018. It further found that the claimants were dismissed by reason of redundancy on that date.
The tribunal recorded that the respondent did not inform and consult with the claimants in accordance with s.188 and s.188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. On that basis, the claimants brought a complaint under s.189 of the Act seeking a protective award.
By consent of the parties, the tribunal held that the claims were well founded and made a protective award in favour of the claimants. The judgment orders remuneration for a protected period of 8 weeks from 14 February 2018. The extracted text does not state a monetary figure for the award, and notes that the claimants agreed to seek payment from the Insolvency Service.
