Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the first respondent's premises at Bee House, Milton Park, Abingdon constituted an establishment for the purposes of s188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, and that there was no recognised trade union or appointed or elected employee representatives under s188(1B). The complaint that the respondent failed to comply with s188 was upheld and a protective award was made in favour of the claimants for the protected period of 90 days (12.86 weeks) from 28 March 2023, amounting to £7,171.89.
The Tribunal further found the breach of contract complaint in relation to notice pay to be well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £3,892.05 in damages, calculated on the basis of 9 weeks' net pay. Credit is to be given for sums paid by the Redundancy Payments Service in relation to notice pay. The claimant's other claim for unpaid wages was dismissed upon withdrawal.

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.
