Mr Konstantinos Giannopoulos
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr Konstantinos Giannopoulos was not employed by Aneurin Bevan University Local Health Board within section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It also found that he was not a worker within Regulation 2 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 and not an employee for the purposes of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994.
On that basis, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claimant's claims of unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, breach of contract, failure to pay statutory minimum notice pay, and breach of the Working Time Regulations 1998. Those claims were dismissed against the respondent. No remedy 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.
