Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Blackwell sat alone at Lincoln on 20 December 2018, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by a solicitor. The tribunal recorded that the claimant's only claim was unfair dismissal.
The tribunal decided that the claimant did not have the required two years' continuous employment. On that basis, it held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim. The claim was therefore dismissed.
The written record states that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days. No remedy or 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.
