Justice Delivered!
The Employment Appeal Tribunal this week handed down its decision in Bebbington v Palmer (trading as Sturry News). the EAT rejected the argument by the appellant that by operation of the s18 of the Children and Young Person Act 1933 all children were employees and that the Ashford Employment Tribunal were correct when on the facts found Master Bebbington was not an employee. The case had been championed as a test case for children who worked, and potentially had wide ranging impact for those who employed. The decision reminds parties that the question of employment status is fact sensitive.
 
Michael Salter represented Ms Palmer at tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal and was instructed by Messrs Lyons Davidson Solicitors.
