Mr T Nagra v Supply Chain Coordination Limited and 1 other — 2026

At the remote hearing on 11 August 2023 before Employment Judge Mensah, the tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim against Supply Chain Coordination Limited. The tribunal found that the claimant was not an employee of the First Respondent at any time.

The tribunal also dismissed the direct sex discrimination, harassment and equal pay claims against the First Respondent. It found that the claimant was not an employee, was not under a contract of apprenticeship, and was not under a contract personally to do work for the First Respondent within s.83(2)(a) Equality Act 2010. The tribunal further found that the First Respondent was not a principal within s.41(5) Equality Act 2010 because it did not make work available to the claimant and the claimant had not shown that he was employed by another or supplied by that employer as an employee in furtherance of a contract to which the First Respondent was a party.

All claims against Unipart Group Limited were also dismissed. The tribunal held that the claimant had not shown that the Second Respondent was acting as agent for the First Respondent, and he had not pleaded any contract-worker claim because he denied any contract with the agency through which he was assigned or that he was employed by that agency or by the Second Respondent. As a result, no claims survived against either respondent.
