Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At this hearing, before Employment Judge R Evans at Cardiff by CVP on 21 June 2021, the tribunal dealt with an issue of employment status rather than the substantive claims. It found that Pamela Rodgers was an employee of Edith Brownson for the purposes of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The judgment did not determine the underlying substantive claims. Instead, the claim was adjourned to a final hearing listed for 20 and 21 September 2021 in accordance with the case management order made on 21 June 2021.

No remedy was awarded in this decision, and the written record states that reasons had been given orally at the hearing. The published judgment therefore records only the preliminary employee-status finding and the adjournment of the case.

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.
