EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4112458/2019 Mr C Rooney
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent stated in its response that it did not intend to defend the claim. The liquidators also confirmed that they did not object to the claim continuing. Proceeding under rule 21, the Employment Judge determined the case on the available material.
The tribunal held that the complaint that the respondent failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was well founded. It found that on or around 30 August 2019 the claimant was notified that his employment was ending by reason of redundancy, that no consultation or notice was given before dismissal, and that more than 20 employees were dismissed by reason of redundancy within a 90-day period at the same establishment.
The tribunal said that a protective award should be made in respect of the former employees working at the respondent’s establishment. It also stated that the protected period should be 90 days, although the extracted text does not show the start date after 'beginning on' and does not record a monetary 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.
