Mr David Varty
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Newcastle via CVP before Employment Judge Jeram, considered the claimant's claims for redundancy pay and holiday pay against the National Insurance Fund. The judgment records that Mr David Varty was not an employee for the purposes of his claims under s.166 and s.182 ERA 1996.
On that basis, both the redundancy pay claim and the holiday pay claim were found not well founded and were dismissed. 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.
