In Groom v Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the EAT has held that an employment tribunal erred in failing to find that a contract for the provision of services arose when a volunteer for the coastal rescue service attended activities in respect of which he was entitled to remuneration.

In Z v Y, the EAT has held that an employment tribunal erred in failing to determine a claim of discriminatory constructive dismissal, which was part of the pleaded case before it, despite it not being included in the agreed list of issues.

In Baldwin v Cleves School and ors, the EAT has held that, in discrimination claims made by the claimant against her employer (a school) and two named individual respondents (who were employees of the school), an employment tribunal erred by dismissing claims against the individual respondents brought under S.110 of the Equality Act 2010 (‘liability of employees and agents’) on the basis that their discriminatory acts, for which the school was found to be liable, were misguided attempts to address a complex situation.
