Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that the respondent’s premises at Bee House, 140 Eastern Avenue, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxfordshire constituted an establishment for the purpose of section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It also found that there was no recognised trade union and no appointed or elected employee representatives for the purpose of section 188(1B).
On that basis, the tribunal upheld the complaint that the respondent failed to comply with the section 188 requirement. It made a protective award in favour of the claimants under section 189(3) of TULR(C)A.
The award was expressed as a payment equivalent to remuneration for a period of 90 days beginning on 28 March 2023. The judgment also notes that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker’s Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 apply to the award.

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.
