Claimant v No Ordinary Designer Label Ltd (in Administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that No Ordinary Designer Label Limited (in Administration) failed to adequately comply with the requirement of section 188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to inform and consult on collective redundancies. The parties agreed by consent to a protective award judgment under Rule 62.
Facts
Mr Beaumont was employed by No Ordinary Designer Label Ltd, which entered administration. His employment was terminated on 8 April 2024 as part of collective redundancies. The respondent failed to adequately comply with statutory obligations to inform and consult with affected employees under section 188 TULRCA 1992 prior to making collective redundancies.
Decision
The tribunal made a consent judgment under Rule 62 finding that the respondent had failed to comply with consultation requirements under section 188 TULRCA 1992. A protective award of 90 days' remuneration was ordered beginning 8 April 2024, with no order as to costs.
Practical note
Employers in administration remain liable for protective awards for failure to inform and consult on collective redundancies, with the maximum 90-day award available where consultation obligations are not adequately met.
