Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the Claimant’s claim for a redundancy payment. It recorded that the Claimant had been employed by the Respondent for less than two years. On that basis, and by reference to section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal concluded that the Claimant did not have the right to a redundancy payment.
The Claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but no acceptable reason was provided. The tribunal therefore struck out the redundancy payment claim.
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.
