Mayson Bros

Protective Award cases members of our Employment team have acted on: Mayson Bros

Mayson Bros was established in 1982 and employed around 100 staff members. The Company offered a range of services across the construction sector.

In January 2020, the construction firm based in Cumbria, was put into administration.

The employees were dismissed as redundant effective from 8^th January 2020 without consultation.

SDM Legal were instructed by a group of former employees to submit a Protective Award group claim which was successfully concluded in June 2020.

Under s.188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (TULRCA), an employer is obligated to collectively consult with its employees when proposing to make redundancies. As the company were proposing to make more than 100 employees redundant, the consultation period should have lasted over 45 days. As the employees were not consulted with in any capacity regarding their redundancies, they were successful in their Protective Award claims.
