Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe only complaint dealt with in this judgment was the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. Employment Judge Maidment recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that Mr Groves had been employed for less than two years.
The judge noted that Mr Groves had confirmed he was not intending to bring that complaint. On that basis, and because he was not entitled to pursue an unfair dismissal claim in any event, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. 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.
