Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. In a letter dated 5 February 2020, it gave Mr L Sinclair an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out on the basis that the Tribunal appeared not to have jurisdiction because he appeared to have less than two years' service.
Mr Sinclair did not make written representations in response. The Tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. No substantive findings were made on the merits of dismissal.
The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claims of breach of contract, unauthorised deductions from pay and holiday pay were still listed for hearing on 12 March 2020. No remedy was awarded 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.
