Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that Ms L Thomas was a self-employed contractor and not an employee or a worker. On that basis, Employment Judge R Brace held that the Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the claims against NewsTeam Group Ltd.
The written judgment dismissed the claims. It did not record any monetary award. The judgment note states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested under Rule 62(3) of the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure 2013.

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.
