Case Summary
Multiple claimants employed at Reaction Engines Ltd (In Administration) at Building F5, Culham Science Centre were dismissed as redundant on or after 31 October 2024 without consultation. The respondent failed to comply with section 188 TULRCA 1992 consultation requirements when 20 or more employees were made redundant. The tribunal made a protective award by consent.
Why this outcome?
The respondent failed to comply with section 188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 by dismissing 20 or more employees as redundant without conducting any consultation, as there were no recognised trade unions or elected employee representatives at the establishment.
