Miss A Diaz
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Southampton on 8 October 2025, Employment Judge Self Appearances considered whether Miss A Diaz fell within the statutory definition of employment for Equality Act 2010 purposes. The tribunal found that she was under a contract to personally do work and therefore satisfied the definition in section 83(2)(b).
On that basis, the tribunal held that it had jurisdiction to consider her claims under the Act. The record does not determine the merits of any substantive discrimination allegation and records no monetary 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.
