Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the respondent's premises at Bee House, Milton Park constituted an establishment for the purposes of s188 TULR(C)A, and that there was no recognised trade union or appointed or elected employee representatives for the relevant consultation duty. The complaint that the respondent failed to comply with s188 was upheld, and a protective award was made for a 90-day protected period beginning on 28 March 2023.
The Tribunal also found the notice pay breach of contract claim, the unauthorised deduction from wages claim, and the holiday pay complaint to be well-founded. It awarded damages for notice pay, the gross sum deducted from wages for 1 to 28 March 2023, and holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations 1998.
The Tribunal determined under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996 that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment. It stated that credit should be given for sums paid by the Redundancy Payments Service in relation to notice pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay 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.
