Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint only. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to present such a claim, and that Mr H Boyles had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that, despite being given the opportunity, he did not provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out. The tribunal stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by 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.
