Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal amended the second respondent's name to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade and then considered whether the claimant was an employee within the meaning of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 at the time the company entered liquidation. That point was treated as the key issue in the hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant was not an employee at that time. On that basis, the claim against the Secretary of State was not well-founded and was dismissed.

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.
