Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a public preliminary hearing on jurisdiction before Employment Judge Hargrove in Bodmin on 26 February 2019. The claimant, Mr G Williams, had started work for Autotech Cylinder Heads Ltd on 14 March 2017. The effective date of termination was agreed as 7 October 2019, but the issue was whether there had been a break in continuity between 30 September 2017 and 2 January 2018.

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.
