Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the respondent's premises at Bee House, 140 Eastern Avenue, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, constituted an establishment for the purposes of s188 of TULR(C)A. It also found that there was no recognised trade union or appointed or elected employee representatives for the purposes of s188(1B). The complaint that the respondent failed to comply with a requirement of s188 was upheld, and a protective award was made for a protected period of 90 days beginning on 28 March 2023.
The Tribunal also found the holiday pay complaint well-founded, holding that the respondent failed to pay the claimant in accordance with regulation 14(2) and/or 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998. It ordered payment of £874.24 for holiday pay, with credit to be given for any sums paid by the Redundancy Payments Service in relation to holiday pay. All other claims were dismissed after the claimant clarified that she only sought a protective award and holiday 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.
