Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's complaint that he was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. It recorded that section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to qualify for such a payment.
The tribunal found that Mr Jacobs had been employed by Northern Hospitality (MCR) Ltd for less than two years. In a letter dated 27 July 2020, the claimant did not dispute that length of service, and instead raised arguments about the fairness of the process, which the tribunal said were not relevant to entitlement to a statutory redundancy payment.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to a redundancy payment and struck out the complaint. It also noted that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by 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.
