Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary issue judgment heard at Southampton on 23 August 2019 before Employment Judge Emerton sitting alone. The claimant, Mr M Tattersall, was represented by Mr H Robson and the respondent, Emmerson Transport Ltd, was represented by Mr A Bryan.
The tribunal refused the claimant's application to amend the claim. It then found that the claimant had insufficient qualifying service to bring a claim under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed.
The judgment records that no other claims remained to be decided. Written reasons were not provided because reasons were given orally at the 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.
