Number: 8001901/2025 K Stephenson v Adarma Limited (In Administration) — 2025

The Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. 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 27 August 2025.

The tribunal held that the claimant was entitled to bring the claim because it concerned a failure relating to the election of employee representatives and the claimant had been dismissed as redundant. It found that the respondent dismissed more than 100 employees as redundant at one establishment within 45 days or less, that the claimant was dismissed on 14 July 2025, and that the respondent failed to ensure employee representatives were elected in accordance with section 188A and then to consult with them in accordance with section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.

The complaint was therefore well founded and the tribunal made a protective award in respect of the claimant at the respondent’s establishment at 3rd Floor, Quay 1, 133 Fountainbridge, EH3 9QG. The protected period began on 14 July 2025 and lasted 90 days. The extracted text records an order to pay remuneration for that protected period, but it does not state a cash amount.
