Employment Tribunal Victory
Yesterday [28th Feb 22] we represented a client in an Employment Tribunal. The claim involved non-payment of wages. Our defence was that the work was not carried out in the UK; that the person was engaged as a contractor and that the worker had exceeded restrictions on a T4 Visa.
The Judge accepted that, based on judicial precedent of Lawson v Serco [2006], the work and the business was outside the UK, and that therefore the Employment Tribunal did not have jurisdiction in this case.
