Claimant v Care Plus Group

The tribunal determined it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim. The claim was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction at a preliminary hearing.
Facts
Mrs Diane Greenfield brought a claim against Care Plus Group. The claim was heard at a preliminary hearing conducted remotely by CVP. The claimant represented herself while the respondent was represented by Jane Eatock, a solicitor.
Decision
Employment Judge Hutchinson dismissed the claim on the basis that the Employment Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear it. No written reasons were provided at the hearing and none were subsequently requested.
