Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service to bring such a complaint, and that Mr Feeney had been employed by Qualia Care Ltd for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal concluded that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal claim.

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.
