USDAW and Another v Unite The Union and Others (Redundancy : Collective Consultation and Information): EAT 30 May 2013

EAT REDUNDANCY
Collective consultation and information
Protective award
Purposive construction of Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 s.188 so as to give effect to a Directive required the court to delete the words ‘at one establishment’ thereby allowing protective awards to be made to employees whose employer was to dismiss 20 employees as redundant in 90 days. Orders by Employment Tribunals excluding those in any establishment where fewer than 20 were dismissed were set aside.
