Mr C Littlewood v Façade & Glazing Solutions UK Ltd (in voluntary liquidation): 1806725/2020
JUDGMENT
[1]The Tribunal declares that the claimant’s complaint that the respondent failed to comply with the requirements of s188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 is well-founded.[2]The Tribunal makes a protective award of 90 days’ pay in respect of the claimants, who were dismissed as redundant with effect from 6 January 2020. The Tribunal orders the respondent to pay those claimants their remuneration for the protected period of 90 days beginning on 6 January 2020. The Recoupment Regulations apply to this award. NOTES Claims[3]Mr Littlewood submitted his claim outside of the Tribunal’s normal time limits. I considered the written evidence that Mr Littlewood provided and concluded that:3.1 it was not reasonably practicable for him to submit his claim within the Tribunal’s normal time limits; and3.2 he had submitted his claim within a reasonable period. Collective Redundancy Consultation claim (protective award)[4]Mr Littlewood claimed that he was dismissed without any collective redundancy consultation. A judgment was previously issued in relation to a protective award 1 of 2 Case Number: 1806725/20 for collective redundancy claims brought by other former employees of the respondent on 16 November 2020.
