Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal extended the time limit for presentation of the claim under section 189(5) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act.

The tribunal found the complaint well founded. It found that the respondent proposed to dismiss as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less, and failed to ensure employee representatives were elected under section 188A and then consulted under section 188.

The tribunal made a protective award in respect of the claimant as an employee dismissed as redundant at the respondent's East Kilbride establishment. The respondent was ordered to pay remuneration for a protected period beginning on 15 March 2024 and lasting 90 days, but the judgment did not state a monetary figure.

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.
