Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr B Coker brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Wenzels the Bakers Limited. The tribunal found that he had been employed for less than two years.
Applying section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason. The claim was therefore struck out.

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.
