JUDGMENT
Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 The Employment Judge has decided to issue the following judgment on the available material under rule 22.[1]The claimants are entitled to bring this claim because the complaint concerns a failure by the first respondent relating to the election of employee representatives, and the claimants were employees dismissed as redundant. There was no recognised trade union for the purposes of collective bargaining.[2]No response was presented to this claim by the first respondent within the applicable time limit.[3]The first respondent is in administration, but the administrator consented to the continuation of these proceedings in a letter dated 14 April 2026.[4]The complaint that the first respondent failed to comply with a requirement of section 188 and section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 is well founded.[5]The first respondent dismissed as redundant more than 20 employees at one establishment within a period of 90 days or less.[6]The first respondent failed to ensure that employee representatives were elected in accordance with s.188A, and then to consult with them in accordance with s.188.[7]The Tribunal makes a protective award in respect of the claimants dismissed as redundant by the first respondent at their site at 10 Lithgow Place, College Milton, East Kilbride, Glasgow, G74 1PW, and the first respondent is ordered to pay remuneration for the protected period. The protected period begins with 06 March 2026 and is for 90 days. 17 July 2026 Multiple Schedule Multiple: 4101105 - Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) Case Number Case Name 4101075/2026 Ms K-C McHugh -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101076/2026 Mr W Wright -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101077/2026 Mr P J W M Kerr -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101078/2026 Mr P G Dolan -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101079/2026 Mr G J Gillooly -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101080/2026 Mr S Anderson -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101081/2026 Mr J M Lynn -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101082/2026 Mr E A Barnes -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101083/2026 Mr S Reid -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101084/2026 Mr R M Wilson -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101085/2026 Mr D Logan -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101086/2026 Mr B George -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101087/2026 Mr S Lynass -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101088/2026 Mr C Dallman -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101089/2026 Mr C Reid -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101090/2026 Mr K P R Dolan -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101091/2026 Mr P Boyle -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101092/2026 Mr E Wallace -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101093/2026 Mr K C Morrice -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101094/2026 Mr J Gillooly -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101095/2026 Mr B C Brogan -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101096/2026 Mr A Kyle -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101097/2026 Mr L J Drennan -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101098/2026 Mr A P George -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101099/2026 Mr L W Gunn -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101100/2026 Mr W Wallace -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101101/2026 Mr D Stevenson -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101102/2026 Mr R Davis -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101103/2026 Mr C A Ling -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101104/2026 Ms K C McHugh -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101105/2026 Mr P Gallagher -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101106/2026 Mr G C Love -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101107/2026 Ms J A L Butland -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101108/2026 Ms E L Love -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101109/2026 Mr D W Scott -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101110/2026 Ms M A McAldine -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101111/2026 Mr D B Hepburn -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101112/2026 Ms H J Taylor -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101113/2026 Mr G Sideserf -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101114/2026 Mr D I Butters -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others 4101115/2026 Mr J W Docherty -v- Industrial Floor Treatments Ltd (In Administration) C/O Begbies Traynor & Others
