Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service to bring such a claim, and that Mr Greaves had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but he did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore states that the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. It also records that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

| Unfair dismissal | The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant had less than two years' service and therefore was not entitled to bring the claim under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment also says the claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, for why the complaint 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.
