Number:8001865/2025 Mr M Blair v Adarma Limited (In Administration) — 2025

The Employment Tribunal for Scotland issued judgment on the available material under rule 22 because no response was presented within the applicable time limit. The claimant, Mr M Blair, was entitled to bring the complaint because it concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives, and he was an employee dismissed as redundant. The respondent, Adarma Limited (In Administration), was in administration and the administrator consented to the continuation of the proceedings in a letter dated 06 August 2025.

The tribunal found the complaint that the respondent failed to comply with sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to be well founded. It found that the respondent dismissed more than 100 employees as redundant at one establishment within a period of 45 days or less, and that Mr Blair was dismissed as redundant on 14 July 2025. The tribunal also found that the respondent failed to ensure that employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then failed to consult with them in accordance with section 188.

As a result, the tribunal made a protective award in respect of the claimant as an employee dismissed as redundant at the respondent's establishment at 3rd Floor, Quay 1, 133 Fountainbridge, EH3 9QG. The protected period began on 14 July 2025 and lasted for 90 days. The extracted judgment states that the respondent was ordered to pay remuneration for the protected period, but it does not state the monetary amount in the text provided.
