Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal held a hearing by Cloud Video Platform on 30 April 2021 before Employment Judge Alan Strain. The claimant was represented by Ms J Dunnigan, her mother, and the respondent was represented by Ms J Price, barrister.

The judgment records that the Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the claimant's breach of contract claim, and that claim was dismissed. The Tribunal also refused the claimant's application to amend her claim to include an unfair dismissal claim under section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Oral reasons were provided, but no further reasoning is set out in the written judgment text supplied.

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.
