Ms Guppy and others v Axiom Ince Ltd (in administration): 3202014/2023 and others
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]This judgment concerns the second claimant (case reference number 3202064/2023) and fifth claimant (case reference number 3202164/2023) only.[2]The second and fifth claimant’s complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 of a failure by the respondent to comply with the requirements of section 188 of the 1992 Act are well-founded. The second and fifth claimants are accordingly entitled to a protective award in the gross sum of £5,144 each (8 weeks pay at £643 a week).[3]This is because the second and fifth claimants confirmed under oath that:a. they were based at the London office (Aldgate Tower and then Gracechurch Street) in an establishment where more than 20 staff were made redundant; and Case Numbers: 3202014/2023 & othersb. they were not represented by a trade union or employee representative.[4]In addition, the HR1 form, provided to me during the course of the hearing by the second claimant, stated at page 6 that 134 employees were affected by redundancy at the London office.
