Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mrs A Bowling's claim for a redundancy payment. It found that she had been employed by Yew Tree Care Home for less than two years, so she did not have the statutory right to a redundancy payment under section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal noted that Mrs Bowling was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but no acceptable reason was provided. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
