Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 4 March 2024, before Employment Judge Hanning sitting via CVP at Bury St Edmunds, the respondent applied to strike out the claimant's claims and for deposit orders. Both applications were dismissed.
The claimant applied to strike out the respondent's counterclaim. That application was granted. The tribunal held that the counterclaim was a claim in negligence, not a contract claim, and therefore the tribunal had no jurisdiction to deal with it.
The counterclaim was struck out on jurisdictional grounds and the tribunal made no determination of its merits. The amended judgment was dated 18 April 2024.

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.
