Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the claimant was not an employee for the purposes of section 230(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
It also found that, even if the claimant had been an employee, he was not an employee on 11 October 2021, the date of the insolvency, because his stated last date of employment was 31 March 2021. The claimant's claim was dismissed.

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.
