Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone before Employment Judge Young on 9 May 2023, found that Mr Andrew James did not fall within the definition of an employee or worker under section 230 Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, it held that it did not have jurisdiction to consider his claims against Broadway Foodz Ltd for unfair dismissal, holiday pay, and wrongful dismissal/failure to provide statutory notice pay.
All three claims were therefore dismissed. The judgment records that the case was decided orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time; no separate remedy findings were 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.
