Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought, and found that Mr Vickers had been employed for less than two years.
The claimant was ordered to show cause why the unfair dismissal claim should not be struck out, and he did not do so. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal. The judgment stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by the 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.
