Koenig v The Mind Gym Ltd: EAT 8 Mar 2013

EAT Unfair Dismissal : Exclusions Including Worker/Jurisdiction
The question was the date on which the Claimant began work for the Respondent, for the purpose of calculating sufficient service to bring a claim for unfair dismissal. She had been engaged from 1 October, and dismissed one day short of a year’s service. She argued that her attendance at the invitation of R at a meeting of one of its employee’s with a client, who was due to become a client of C’s once employed, for some hours on the 30 September, should have been regarded by an Employment Tribunal as being work under the contract.
Held: that the question was not whether C worked for her future employer, but whether that was work under the contract of employment which had been entered into. On the facts, the ET was entitled to hold it was not. Accordingly, C’s appeal failed.
