Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered Mr M Reid's unfair dismissal complaint against Pennine Aggregates Ltd. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, he was not entitled to bring the complaint.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not provide an acceptable reason. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. It noted that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment, although he was subject to a separate strike out warning in respect of those claims and was asked to respond with further details.

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.
