Mr A Shattock
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring such a complaint, and found that Mr A Shattock had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also found that he had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.
The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment, and it records no monetary award or merits finding on the unfair dismissal claim.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
