Mrs L Leach v RPS Lincolnshire Ltd: 6015898/2024
JUDGMENT

[1]The claimant consented to a judgment striking out the claim for a protective award, on the basis that the number of employees at the establishment where she worked meant there could not have been a breach of the duty to consult.[2]A judgment was prepared and sent to the parties on 12 March 2025 by EJ Adkinson. This erroneously referred to a claim of redundancy payment, instead of one for a protective award.[3]On 14 March 2025 the tribunal informed the parties of EJ Adkinson’s intention to reconsider the judgment on the ground that it was issued in error, citing the error. The parties were given opportunity to object.[4]The claimant supports this course. The respondent did not object.
