Mr J Bulger
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr J Bulger, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Careermakers Recruitment (UK) Ltd and two individual respondents. Employment Judge Sherratt held that the complaint could not proceed because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that Mr Bulger had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, it concluded that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint and struck that complaint out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
