Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs M Devireddi brought claims against Greenwich Engineering and Medical School, with the hearing conducted by CVP at London South Hearing Centre on 15 August 2023 before Employment Judge McLaren. The respondent was represented by Mr S Hoyle, litigation consultant, and the claimant appeared in person.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim because the claimant was not an employee and had not been employed for two years, so it had no jurisdiction to hear that claim. It also dismissed the unfair dismissal claim said to arise from making a protected disclosure because the claimant was not a worker, again meaning the tribunal had no jurisdiction.
The unlawful deduction from wages claim against Mr Onwuachi was dismissed because the claimant accepted that he was not her employer. The unlawful deduction from wages claim against Greenwich Engineering and Medical School was also dismissed because the claimant was neither an employee nor a worker. The judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
