Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Cardiff by video on 26 September 2025, Employment Judge R Russell determined a preliminary issue in Mr S Mason's claim against Ms Bethan Williams and Mr Geraint Williams t/a Oriel Ger y Fenai Gallery. The tribunal held that Mr Mason was not an employee of the respondents at the relevant time.
The tribunal also held, however, that Mr Mason was a worker of the respondents at the relevant time. On that basis, the claim was allowed to proceed. The written record records the decision as sent to the parties on 03 October 2025, and it notes that the reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
