Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms V Pennetta, brought a claim against Orange Genie Cover Limited that concerned whether she should have been placed on furlough. The case was heard by CVP on 28 April 2021 before Employment Judge M Warren. The respondent was represented by Ms Barnett, Consultant, and the claimant appeared in person.
The tribunal dismissed the claim for want of jurisdiction. It held that it did not have power to consider claims that a person should have been placed on furlough. It also stated that it only has jurisdiction to consider breach of contract claims that are outstanding or arise upon termination of employment.
No remedy was awarded because the claim was dismissed at jurisdiction stage and the judgment records no compensation, interest, or other 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.
