EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4123839/2018 & others as per multiple reference 8898 GMB Scotland & others
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claims. The joint administrator confirmed by letter dated 12 July 2019 that he did not object to the claims continuing and did not intend to defend them. The Employment Judge therefore issued a rule 21 judgment on the available material.
The tribunal found 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 13 August 2018 the claimants were notified that their employment was ending by reason of redundancy, and that no consultation or notice was given before their employment was terminated.
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. It held that a protective award should be made in respect of such former employees dismissed as redundant on or around 13 August 2018, and fixed the protected period at 90 days beginning on 13 August 2018. The extracted text does not record any monetary figure 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.
