Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Cambridge on 14 November 2024, Employment Judge Tynan, sitting alone, considered jurisdiction only. The tribunal held that Mrs Mandley was employed by The Eccentric Englishman under a contract of employment.
On that basis, the tribunal found that she had the right under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 not to be unfairly dismissed, and that the Employment Tribunal had jurisdiction to determine her unfair dismissal claim. The judgment records an oral decision on this preliminary issue and does not contain any merits findings or remedy 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.
