Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant’s unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Mr M Love had been employed by Clearway Drainage Systems Limited for less than two years, so he did not satisfy the qualifying service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for an unfair dismissal complaint.
The claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal recorded that he failed to give an acceptable reason. On that basis, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out.
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.

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.
