Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 21 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 4 July 2024.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to bring the claim, as he was an employee dismissed as redundant and none of the exclusions in section 189(1)(a), (b) or (c) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 applied. It found the complaint under section 188 well founded: the respondent dismissed as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within 90 days or less and failed to carry out any consultation with appropriate representatives of affected employees.
The Tribunal made a protective award in respect of the claimant as an employee dismissed as redundant at the respondent's Glasgow establishment. The protected period begins on 15 March 2024 and lasts for 90 days, with the respondent ordered to pay remuneration for that period.

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.
