Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At the Manchester CVP hearing on 23 March 2023, Judge Cowx sitting alone dealt only with the claimant's breach of contract claim. The claimant was unrepresented and the respondent was represented by Mr Ian Morton, Solicitor.

The Tribunal held that the breach of contract claim had been presented before the claimant's effective date of termination on 30 June 2022. On that basis, it found that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claim and struck it out. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
