Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr N Allan, brought complaints including unfair dismissal and a claim for a redundancy payment against The Butchers Block At The Farm Ltd. The tribunal recorded that he had been employed for less than two years.
Applying s.108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal found that the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. Applying s.155 of the same Act, it found that he was not entitled to a redundancy payment. The tribunal also noted that, despite being given the opportunity, he did not provide an acceptable reason why those claims should not be struck out.
The unfair dismissal complaint and the redundancy payment claim were therefore struck out. The tribunal stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by 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.
