Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mrs Allyson Garbutt was employed by VMW Leisure Limited between 14 December 2021 and 24 February 2024. She was not employed by Wendy Fretton. Under rule 35 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024, the tribunal substituted VMW Leisure Limited as the respondent. Wendy Fretton was no longer a respondent to the claim.
The tribunal stayed the proceedings and directed Mrs Garbutt to write to it no later than 8 January 2027 to report any application to restore VMW Leisure Limited to the register of companies. The judgment records no determination of the substantive claims and no monetary award.

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.
