Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge issued judgment under rule 21 on the available material because no response had been presented within the applicable time limit. The respondent was in administration, but the administrator had consented to the continuation of the proceedings by letter dated 21 May 2024.
The Tribunal found the claimant was entitled to bring the claim because it concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives and she was an employee dismissed as redundant. It found the respondent had dismissed more than 20 employees as redundant at one establishment within 90 days or less, and had failed to ensure employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then consulted in accordance with section 188.
The complaint was held well founded. The Tribunal made a protective award for the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay remuneration for a protected period beginning on 12 April 2024 and lasting 90 days; no monetary sum was specified in the judgment.

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.
