Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at London Central on 26 and 27 October 2023 before Employment Judge Klimov. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Mrs E Goodwin, retired solicitor.
The tribunal found that Mr H James was not an employee of Caudwell Properties (CP109) Ltd within the meaning of s.230(1) Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the claimant could not pursue an unfair dismissal claim against the respondent.
The judgment therefore states that the unfair dismissal claim failed and was dismissed. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
