Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Shotter sat alone at Manchester and heard the case by telephone on 23 July 2021. The only claim recorded in the judgment was unfair dismissal brought by Mr M Gilbert against Frozen Value Ltd T/A Fulton Foods.
The tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 because he had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal said it did not have jurisdiction to consider the complaint.
The claim was therefore dismissed. The judgment does not record any monetary remedy or any further findings on the substantive fairness of the dismissal.

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.
