Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe only complaint identified in the judgment was a claim of unfair dismissal brought by Mr Andrew Fox against Pro Main Solutions Limited. Employment Judge Fowell recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years’ service before an unfair dismissal claim can normally be brought, subject to exceptions that did not appear to apply on the material before the Tribunal.
The Tribunal noted that, according to the dates on the claim form, the claimant had been employed for less than two years. The Tribunal wrote to him to ask whether there was any reason why the claim should be allowed to proceed despite the short service, but he did not respond. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out.

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.
