Mr J Barker
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr J Barker's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to present an unfair dismissal claim, and found that Mr Barker had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal proceedings and struck out that complaint. The judgment also states that the claimant's discrimination complaints were unaffected and would proceed to a preliminary hearing.

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.
