Mr V Tatarenco Respondent (1): SLAM Transport Ltd Respondent (2): Livi London Ltd Heard at Newcastle In person v Ms Hussein (employment consultant) Second Respondent: Mr Cowley (employment consultant) His colleague Ms Mayhew- Hills (employment consultant) attended on 6 May and 1 other — 2025

The tribunal considered preliminary issues about whether the claimant had sufficient continuous employment to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, whether he was an employee, worker or self-employed while working for the respondents, and whether the unfair dismissal and unlawful deduction from wages complaints were presented in time.

The tribunal found that the claimant did not have the requisite two years' service for unfair dismissal and that the unfair dismissal complaint was presented almost 11 months after his employment had terminated. It also considered the claimant likely to be a worker for the purposes of the unlawful deduction from wages complaint, but found that any entitlement ended no later than the sick leave period from 28 February to 9 March 2023 and that the wages complaint was out of time.

The tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to hear either the unfair dismissal complaint or the unlawful deduction from wages complaint, and dismissed the claims.
