Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal determined the claimant's employment status as a preliminary issue. It held that the claimant was not an employee for the purposes of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, but was a worker for the purposes of that section.

Because the claimant was not an employee, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claims. For the same reason, it also struck out the breach of contract claims.

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.
