Respondent

X Green Clean Ltd

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Mr J Ensby had been employed by X Green Clean Ltd for less than two years, and therefore did not satisfy the service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for bringing an unfair dismissal claim.

The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not provide any reason. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.

The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision, so no findings were made on them in this judgment and no remedy was awarded.

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.
