Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 2 October 2019, Employment Judge King held that Mr Lee Alexander was a worker within the meaning of s.230(3)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal also held that he was not an employee within the meaning of the Act.
Because the claimant was not an employee, the tribunal decided that it had no jurisdiction to hear a claim for notice pay under the Employment Rights Act 1996. 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.
