Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing held in Manchester on 2 May 2019, Regional Employment Judge Parkin considered whether Miss C Thompson had sufficient continuous employment to bring her unfair dismissal claim against LBS Worldwide Ltd.

The tribunal held that, applying section 212(3)(c) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the claimant did have sufficient continuous employment for the purposes of section 108 of the Act. The judgment therefore allowed the unfair dismissal claim to proceed; it did not determine the merits of the dismissal itself or record any monetary award.

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.
