Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered two complaints: unfair dismissal and entitlement to a statutory redundancy payment. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and section 155 of the same Act requires two years' service for a redundancy payment.
The tribunal found that Mr Beaumont had been employed by R2R People Ltd for less than two years. On that basis, it held that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint and was not entitled to be paid a statutory redundancy payment. It also noted that, despite being given the opportunity, he did not provide an acceptable reason why those complaints should not be struck out.
Accordingly, both complaints were struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.
Claims and outcomes
2 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unfair dismissal | Struck out because the claimant had less than two years' service, so he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint under section 108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the complaint should not be struck out. | Struck out | — | — |
| Redundancy | Struck out because the claimant had less than two years' service and was therefore not entitled to a statutory redundancy payment under section 155 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the complaint should not be struck out. | Struck out | — | — |

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.
