Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued on the available material under rule 22 because no response was presented within the applicable time limit. The respondent was in administration, and the administrator consented to the continuation of the proceedings by letter dated 23 May 2024.
The Tribunal found the complaint under sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 well founded. It found that the respondent dismissed as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within 90 days or less, failed to ensure employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A, and then failed to consult with them in accordance with 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.

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.
