Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that the Polish Saturday School was an unincorporated association and, applying Affleck and ors v Newcastle Mind and ors, the correct respondents were the executive committee members for the time being rather than the wider membership or the parents of pupils. The constitution gave the committee responsibility for employing staff, approving wages and controlling funds, while parents were fee-paying users of the school.
