Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe parties agreed that Mr Holmes was self-employed, and not an employee or worker within section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, when he carried out work for Abel’s Harp Limited in or around late June to mid-July 2022. On that agreed basis, the Tribunal recorded that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim.
By consent, Mr Holmes withdrew the claim. The judgment also records that, because he wished to reserve the right to bring a claim in the civil courts for monies he says remain unpaid, the claim was not dismissed under rule 52 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. No substantive merits determination or monetary award was made.

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.
