Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal dealt only with the unfair dismissal complaint in this judgment. By letter dated 29 April 2022, it gave Mr Oldacre an opportunity to make written representations, or to request a hearing, on why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out because he had less than two years' service.

Mr Oldacre did not make representations in writing, did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Martin struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal.

The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claim(s) remained live after this decision. No remedy was awarded in this judgment.

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.
