Mr T Bodnar
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 at least two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint could be brought, and found that Mr T Bodnar had been employed for less than two years.
Because the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, the tribunal struck out that complaint. It also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not provide an acceptable reason.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision. No monetary remedy was awarded in this 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.
