Mr A Cox
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr A Cox, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against EHLUK Building Maintenance & Facility Services Ltd. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought.
The tribunal found that Mr Cox had been employed for less than two years, so he was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also recorded that he did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The claim was therefore struck out by Employment Judge Sweeney on 18 March 2024.

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.
