Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Leeds via CVP on 3 and 4 March 2022 before Employment Judge Moxon. The only claim identified in the judgment was unfair dismissal.
The tribunal found that Mrs Carswell was not an employee of Deborah Wilkinson because she did not satisfy the definition of 'employee' in section 230(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was described as unfounded and was dismissed.

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.
