Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place by video on 11 February 2026 before Employment Judge Liz Ord. The claimant appeared in person; the First Respondent (The Cronx Brewery Ltd, in liquidation) did not appear; the Second Respondent (Secretary of State for Business and Trade) was represented by a lay representative.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was not an employee of the First Respondent and dismissed all claims on that basis. Written reasons were not provided and would only follow on request within 14 days of the judgment being sent.

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.
