Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dealt only with the unfair dismissal complaint in this judgment. It recorded that Mr N Barnes said his employment began on 27 November 2023 and ended on 15 March 2024, so he had less than two years' service.
Applying section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Employment Judge concluded that the claimant had insufficient service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant had also not responded to the Tribunal's letter of 24 May 2024 asking for reasons why the complaint should not be struck out. On that basis, the Tribunal found the unfair dismissal complaint had no reasonable prospect of success and struck it out under Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure. The judgment states that the other complaints continue.

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.
