Claimant v Secretary of State for Business and Trade
Outcome
Facts
Mr Cooper was employed by Revard Group Ltd from 3 September 2018 until 16 February 2024. Revard Group Ltd entered voluntary liquidation. The claimant brought a claim which involved the Secretary of State for Business and Trade as first respondent, likely relating to payments from the National Insurance Fund following the employer's insolvency. The second respondent did not attend the preliminary hearing.
Decision
The tribunal made a preliminary finding confirming that the claimant was an employee of Revard Group Ltd during the period from 3 September 2018 until 16 February 2024. This appears to be a preliminary determination of employment status, likely necessary for claims against the Secretary of State following insolvency.
Practical note
This is a preliminary employment status determination in an insolvency case where the tribunal confirmed the claimant's employee status for the relevant period to enable claims against the National Insurance Fund.
