Mr P Hughes and others v Ideal World Ltd (in Administration) and The Secretary of State for Business and Trade: 3312746/2023 and others
JUDGMENT
(1) The first respondent has failed to comply with a requirement of section 188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The claim for a protective award succeeds.(2) The Tribunal makes a protective award in respect of the claimants who worked at the first respondent’s establishment at Ideal Home House, Newark Road, Peterborough PE1 5WG and who were dismissed as redundant on or after 6 July 2023 that the employer pay remuneration for the protected period which begins on 6 July 2023 and is for a period of 90 days. The Recoupment Regulations apply.REASONS
[1]The claimants presented their claims for a protective award within the statutory time limit (as extended by the early conciliation provisions).[2]The claimants were employed at the same establishment at Ideal Home House, Newark Road, Peterborough PE1 5WG (“the establishment”) and were made redundant on or after 6 July 2023.[3]There was not a recognised trade union nor elected employee representatives at the establishment. 4. 20 or more employees at the establishment were made redundant or placed at risk of redundancy, on or within 90 days of 6 July 2023. PHCM Order (NEW August 2020) 1 of 7 August 2020[5]The claimants were dismissed during this period without any consultation having taken place.[6]The respondent, which is in administration, has not filed a response but its administrators have given consent to these claims proceeding. The Secretary of State has filed a response to assist the Tribunal only and has no direct knowledge of events. In these circumstances it would be disproportionate to convene a hearing.[7]There appears to be no reason to depart from the principle that protective awards are punitive and should be for the maximum period unless there are circumstances making it just not to do so.
