Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Hayes brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Solar Daddy Group. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service before a claimant can bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It therefore concluded that he was not entitled to bring the complaint.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The unfair dismissal complaint was accordingly struck out. The tribunal stated 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.
