Facts

The Claimant was employed as the Head of Customer Service by Chapter One (Jersey) Limited (the "Respondent") from January 2020 until her dismissal in April 2025.

In late 2024, the Respondent had entered commercial discussions with a potential franchise partner in the Isle of Man. During this period, the Claimant was assigned to support the prospective franchise partner, Miss M.

When franchise negotiations collapsed, the Claimant was expressly instructed on the 21 January 2025 to finish any existing tasks as a courtesy to the prospective franchise partner, but to cease all work after that and not provide any further information without director approval. Despite this instruction, the Claimant continued to work for Miss M.
