Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the respondent's premises at Bee House, Milton Park constituted an establishment for the purpose of s188 TULR(C)A, and that there was no recognised trade union or appointed or elected employee representatives for the relevant purpose. The complaint that the respondent failed to comply with a requirement of s188 TULR(C)A was upheld, and a protective award of 90 days' remuneration was made.
The Tribunal held that the claimant's notice pay complaint was well-founded as a breach of contract and awarded damages equivalent to 4 weeks' net pay. It also upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 1 to 28 March 2023, awarding the gross sum deducted.
The Tribunal determined that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996. It stated that credit is to be given for sums paid by the Redundancy Payments Service in relation to notice pay, unpaid wages and redundancy pay.

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.
