Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal considered the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint only. It found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 meant he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal claim.

The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal found that he did not provide an acceptable reason. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out.

The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
