Miss K Allen and others v Carillion Services Ltd (in Compulsory Liquidation) and others: 1303196/2018 and others
JUDGMENT
The claims seeking a protective award are struck out.REASONS
[1]These three cases are part of the multiple case arising out of the insolvency of the respondent companies.[2]The respondent has asserted that each of these claimants worked at an establishment with fewer than 20 employees, meaning that the duty to consult the workforce collectively did not arise.[3]The Tribunal wrote to each of the claimants on 22 November 2021 warning that the claim was liable to be struck out unless the claimants could confirm the basis upon which it was asserted that the duty to consult collectively arose. None of the claimants has replied or sought a hearing to make representations.[4]The claims are therefore struck out under rule 37(1)(a) because they have no reasonable prospect of success.
