Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant presented a single unfair dismissal claim against TC Facilities Management Ltd. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, subject to exceptions that were not engaged on the facts of this case.
After inviting the claimant to explain why the claim should not be struck out, the tribunal recorded the claimant's response that he had initially been engaged as an agency worker, became an employee on 14 April 2021, and that employment transferred to the respondent on 31 January 2022. On that basis, and with dismissal effective on 30 March 2023, the tribunal found that he had been employed by the respondent for less than two years.
The tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring unfair dismissal proceedings and struck out the claim. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
