Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought, and found that Mr J Lyon had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also noted that he had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the complaint should not be struck out, and the unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out. The judgment stated 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.
