Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered a complaint of unfair dismissal brought by Mr N Gevelis against Rexel UK Limited. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint could be brought, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
Because the claimant lacked the required qualifying service, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that he had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not provide an acceptable reason.
The judgment notes that the claimant confirmed his claim was under the Equality Act 2010 only, and it states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out.

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.
