Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required not less than two years' service to bring such a complaint, and found that Mr B Alves Melo had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal decided he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal claim.

It therefore struck out the complaint after the claimant did not provide an acceptable reason why it should not be struck out. | 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.
