Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant, Mr P Day, was offered employment by letter dated 6 June 2019 on terms that included a six-month probationary period and, after that period, four weeks' notice on either side. A later written contract sent on 25 June 2019 contained different notice provisions, and the tribunal preferred the Claimant's evidence that he had not agreed to the change in notice terms. The tribunal also found that the Respondent's evidence about extending probation because of its financial position was not plausible and did not reflect well on Mr McMahon's credibility.

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.
