Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claimant complained of unfair dismissal arising from a termination on 25 May 2019, with the claim commenced in September 2019.
The tribunal applied the qualifying service requirement under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that, because the claimant acknowledged he had been providing services through a different employer until 1 November 2017, he could not have the required two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant had not given an acceptable reason why that complaint should not be struck out.
The unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The judgment expressly stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

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.
