EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS
Worker, Employee
Illegality
The Employment Judge erred in her conclusion that the Claimant was not an employee on each night she performed work and in the intervening stages when she was on the rota to perform work, on holiday, and at all stages in between. The Employment Judge did not find it necessary to decide the illegality issue in the light of her finding against the Claimant and did not reach adequate conclusions given the material put forward by the Respondent. The Claimant’s claim that she was an employee was upheld and the Judge’s decision was reversed. The matter of illegality on the cross appeal succeeded and was remitted. The matter would go to a fresh three person Tribunal to determine unfair dismissal and illegality.
