Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant claimed a right to a redundancy payment. The tribunal referred to section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, which provides that employees do not have the right to a redundancy payment unless they have been employed for two years or more.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. The claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the redundancy payment claim should not be struck out but did not give an acceptable reason. The claim for a redundancy payment was therefore struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected.

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.
