Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Bell brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Atalian Serbest Amk Ltd. Employment Judge Davies held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
Because the qualifying service requirement was not met, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. The reasons record that the claimant did not give an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, and that any failure to follow a selection process did not assist him in overcoming the two-year service requirement. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. 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.
