Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Leeds by CVP on 21 November 2024 before Employment Judge Shepherd, heard the claimant in person. The first respondent did not appear. The second respondent, the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, was represented by Ms Whalley.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's claims for redundancy payment, notice pay, holiday pay, and unauthorised deduction from wages. It held that it had not been established that the claimant was an employee of the first respondent. On that basis, the tribunal found that no payment was due to be made from the National Insurance Fund to the claimant by the second respondent.
The judgment records the claims as not well-founded and dismissed. No monetary award was 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.
