Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 1 July 2019, Employment Judge Corrigan sat alone in Ashford and considered the Claimant’s unfair dismissal claim against Tolgate Coffee Ltd. The Claimant was represented by his mother, Miss D Brooks, and the Respondent was represented by its director, Mrs M Wilson.
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim as having no reasonable prospect of success. The reason given was that the Claimant had less than two years’ service, so the claim could not proceed on the facts recorded in the judgment.
No remedy was awarded and no other claims were determined in the judgment text provided.

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.
