Jason Elliott was called to the Bar of Northern Ireland in 2013 and is the Associate Head of School of Law at Ulster University. As a practising barrister, he has developed a largely civil practice representing individuals, companies and public bodies in litigation. This covers a wide range of areas including personal injuries, wills and employment law. In terms of employment law, he has represented both applicants and respondents in the Industrial Tribunal. At Ulster University, Jason lectures extensively on the civil areas of practise such as Equity and Trusts and delivers employment law lectures for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The claimants in this case worked within the construction industry. The Tribunal noted that it was not uncommon that those involved in bricklaying may work in ‘gangs’ of two or three. The first claimant started working on the respondent’s sites in 2015 as a bricklayers' labourer and worked in a ‘gang’ with a bricklayer with whom he had worked before with a different company. In 2018, the bricklayer the claimant had been working with left and the claimant asked the Respondent’s managers whether he could carry on working on their site and he named a couple of individuals (the other two claimants) he said he could work with. This was suitable for the respondent and agreed to it.
