Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that Mr P Oravec had been employed by Crossways Engineering for less than two years.
Because the statutory qualifying period was not met, the tribunal found that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also noted that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but had failed to provide an acceptable reason.
The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. The tribunal 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.
