Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint in this judgment. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service to bring such a complaint, and found that Mr G Joseph had been employed by Educate Staffing Limited for less than two years.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not provide an acceptable reason. For that reason, the complaint that he was unfairly dismissed was struck out.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision and would be heard on 20 January 2022.

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.
