Claimant v The Matrix Alliance Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant accepted he was not an employee of the respondent. The tribunal found the claim had no reasonable prospect of success because the claimant could not point to a contractual entitlement to the expenses he claimed.
Facts
Mr Kanabar brought a breach of contract claim against The Matrix Alliance Ltd seeking expenses. At a preliminary hearing, the claimant accepted he was not an employee of the respondent. The claim related to expenses the claimant believed he was entitled to.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the breach of contract claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success. The claimant could not identify any contractual entitlement to the expenses claimed and there was no other reason to allow the claim to continue.
Practical note
Employment tribunals require claimants to demonstrate employee status and establish a clear contractual basis for breach of contract claims relating to expenses.
