Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr N Perry brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Marshall Morrison Ltd. The tribunal considered the complaint by reference to section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, which requires a claimant to have at least two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal claim.

The tribunal found that Mr Perry had been employed for less than two years. It also recorded that, despite being given the opportunity by the tribunal's letter dated 12 June 2020, he did not provide a reason why the complaint should not be struck out.

The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. It stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by the 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.
