Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr P van Den Boogaard, brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Bardsea Leisure Motorhome Hire Ltd. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so he was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also found that, despite being given the opportunity, the claimant did not provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal claim. No monetary award was made.

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.
