Why this outcome?

The respondent failed to comply with statutory consultation requirements under sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 by proposing to dismiss more than 20 employees as redundant without ensuring employee representatives were elected and then consulting with them as required.
