Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Lancaster in Leeds in private by CVP on 22 November 2023. The only complaint identified in the judgment was unfair dismissal.
By consent, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The reason given was that Mr Simpson accepted he did not have the two years' continuous employment required by section 108(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in order to bring such a claim.
No remedy was awarded or addressed in the judgment, and no lay members are listed.

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.
