Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the respondent's premises at Bee House, Milton Park, Abingdon constituted an establishment for the purpose 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. The complaint that the respondent failed to comply with a requirement of s188 of TULR(C)A was upheld, and the Tribunal made a protective award in the claimant's favour, ordering payment of £9892.30 for the protected period of 90 days (12.86 weeks) beginning on 28 March 2023.
The Tribunal also found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay to be well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £4350.71 as damages, equivalent to 7 weeks' pay calculated using net pay. Credit is to be given for sums paid by the Redundancy Payments Service in relation to notice pay. The judgment was approved by Employment Judge Shastri-Hurst and sent to the parties on 28 February 2025.

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.
