Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr S Mister complained of unfair dismissal against Amazon. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also recorded that the claimant had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the complaint should not be struck out.
The whole claim was struck out. The judgment did not record any monetary remedy.

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.
