Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint only. It found that Mr J Maponga had been employed by Celerity LS Limited for less than two years, so he did not satisfy the two-year service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for bringing an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal found that he did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal noted that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment. No monetary award was made in this decision.

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.
