Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Bury St Edmunds on 9 January 2025, Employment Judge Laidler sitting alone determined a preliminary issue only. The tribunal held that Mr C Baggaley was an employee within s.230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and s.83(2)(a) of the Equality Act 2010.
The respondent's application to strike out the claim was dismissed. The judgment records no monetary award and contains no substantive determination of any underlying claim beyond the preliminary employment-status ruling and the refusal to strike the case out.

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.
