Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr R Fellows, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Greenlight Highways Ltd C/O Robin Dowell - MD. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It therefore held that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint and struck out that complaint.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, for why the complaint should not be struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by 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.
