Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered a complaint of unfair dismissal brought by Mr J Tempero against Jungle Mania Soft Play Ltd. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to pursue the unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that the claimant had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out, and the tribunal noted that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by the 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.
