Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Employment Judge Shotter, sitting alone in Liverpool on 29 May 2020, decided a preliminary issue on whether Mr J Rodriguez could bring an unfair dismissal claim against Carrico Parma Ltd. The tribunal found that he did not have sufficient continuity of employment to bring a claim under section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The judgment records that a strike out warning was sent to the claimant on 31 March 2020. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim on the basis that, under section 108 of the ERA 1996, the claimant was not entitled to bring the claim and none of the statutory exceptions applied.

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.
