Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr W Harding, brought a claim against Lanes Rail for unfair dismissal. At a hearing on 27 February 2024 before Employment Judge K Smyth, with no appearance for the claimant, the tribunal found that Mr Harding had been employed only between 15 November 2021 and 29 September 2023 and therefore did not have sufficient continuity of service to claim unfair dismissal. The claim was struck out on that basis.

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.
