Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring such a complaint, and found that Mr A Stanley had been employed by Cranleys Staffing Limited for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also noted that the claimant had been given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but had not done so. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore 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.
