Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr S Scanlon brought a claim of unfair dismissal against BGA (BG Automotive). The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring not less than two years' service before a claimant can bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that Mr Scanlon had been employed for less than two years. It therefore held that he was not entitled to bring the proceedings. The claimant was given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but failed to do so. The claim was accordingly 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.
