Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the claimant's complaint of a redundancy payment and struck it out. It held that section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to qualify for a redundancy payment, and found that Mr Patel had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal also noted that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but had failed to provide an acceptable reason. It therefore struck out the redundancy payment complaint. 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.
