Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed Mr Phillip Potton's claim against Holman Sports Club. Sitting at Bodmin on 17 February 2020 before Employment Judge Fowell, the tribunal found that the claimant did not have the necessary two years' service to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal.
The tribunal also found that the contract was illegal and therefore unenforceable. No monetary award was recorded in the written decision, and the judgment states that the reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
