Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Nottingham on 28 February 2025 before Employment Judge Phillips sitting alone. The claimant appeared in person. The first respondent did not attend. The second respondent was represented by Mrs Munro, lay representative for the Secretary of State for Business and Trade.
The tribunal found that Mr Sherman was not an employee of Super Retro Bros Limited within the meaning of section 230 Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the claim for a redundancy payment was not well founded. The judgment records that the claim was dismissed.

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.
