Tribunal's reasoning

At a hearing in Exeter on 11 July 2024, Employment Judge Oldroyd held that Andrew Coleridge was not, at any material time, an employee of BP Tyres Limited within the meaning of section 203 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

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.
