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 of TULR(C)A. It also recorded that there was no recognised trade union or appointed or elected employee representatives for the purpose of the collective consultation provisions.
The complaint that the respondent failed to comply with a requirement of s188 of TULR(C)A was upheld, and a protective award was made for a protected period of 90 days beginning on 28 March 2023. The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was also found well-founded, with credit to be given for sums paid by the Redundancy Payments Service in relation to notice 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.
