Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claimant's unfair dismissal claim because it found it did not have jurisdiction to consider it. The judgment states that the claimant did not have sufficient service under section 108 Employment Rights Act 1996.
The claimant's notice pay claim succeeded in part. The tribunal recorded that he was contractually entitled to 4 weeks' notice pay, had only been paid 1 week when his contract was terminated, and that the respondent must pay the agreed sum of £1499.40.
The tribunal found that the claimant was not, at the relevant time, a disabled person as defined by section 6 Equality Act 2010. The direct disability discrimination claims were dismissed as not well-founded, and the judgment also recorded that they would have been dismissed in the alternative even if disability had been established.

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.
