Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with two issues in this judgment: the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal and his reference to determine entitlement to a redundancy payment. It found that Mr M Ullah had been employed by Andersen Textiles Ltd for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 prevented the unfair dismissal complaint from proceeding, and section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 prevented entitlement to a redundancy payment. It also recorded that the claimant had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why either matter should not be struck out.
The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint and the reference to determine entitlement to a redundancy payment. It stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

| Unfair dismissal | Struck out because the tribunal found the claimant had less than two years' service and therefore could not bring an unfair dismissal complaint under section 108 ERA 1996. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the complaint should not be struck out. | Struck out | — | — |
| Redundancy | Struck out because the tribunal found the claimant had less than two years' service and therefore was not entitled to a redundancy payment under section 155 ERA 1996.

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.
