Elements Europe workers win tribunal award over redundancies
Summary
An employment tribunal has awarded former Elements Europe workers a 90-day protective award after finding the collapsed modular specialist failed to consult properly over mass redundancies. The ruling held that the company breached section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act in relation to collective consultation requirements.
Why it matters
While not a property-specific technical issue, the case is relevant to surveyors because it highlights legal and operational risks in the modular construction sector, which is closely linked to residential delivery and building programmes. It also underscores the importance of compliance with redundancy consultation duties for firms involved in housing and construction supply chains.
