Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr S Newman brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against NP Integrated Technology. Employment Judge Phil Allen held that the complaint could not proceed because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and the tribunal found that Mr Newman had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal also recorded that Mr Newman had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not give an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision. No remedy was awarded in 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.
