Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the unfair dismissal complaint in this judgment. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim.
Mr Fuentes confirmed that he had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and that he did not intend to bring a claim of unfair dismissal. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision. The case remained listed for a final hearing on 13 October 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.
