Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring such a complaint, and found that Mr C Huggett had been employed by Connect 4 Recruitment Ltd for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also found that he had failed, despite being given the opportunity, to give an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision. No financial remedy was awarded in this judgment.

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.
