Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a CVP hearing in London South on 14 February 2025, Employment Judge Harrington heard the claim brought by Mr B Wilson against NewsTeam Group Limited. Mr Wilson appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Mr J Kennett, Managing Director.

The tribunal found that Mr Wilson was a self-employed contractor and was not an employee or a worker. On that basis, it held that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it.

The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. No 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.
