Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr C Wookey, brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Alan T. Carr. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that Mr Wookey had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal concluded that he was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also recorded that he had been given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but failed to give an acceptable reason. The claim was therefore struck out.

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.
