Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Mr E Peters had been employed by Booker Group Plc RDC for less than two years, so he did not satisfy the statutory qualifying service requirement for an unfair dismissal complaint under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The claimant had been given the 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.
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.
