Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs F Gilbert’s complaint that The Opportunity Group Limited (in liquidation) failed to comply with section 188 or section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was found well-founded by Employment Judge Johnson on 7 November 2023. The respondent did not attend and no response had been received.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay remuneration calculated in accordance with section 190 of the 1992 Act to the claimant personally for the protected period. The protected period was identified as 26 January 2023 to 25 April 2023.
The written record also notes that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Job Seekers Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 apply, including the duty to provide information to the Secretary of State and the postponement mechanism to allow for any recoupment notice. No monetary amount is stated in the written decision provided.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
