Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Watford on 29 October 2024, Employment Judge Tuck KC dismissed Mr M Charles's unfair dismissal claim against J Preedy & Sons Ltd. The judgment records that he was employed from 15 November 2021 until 3 November 2023.
The tribunal found that he was paid two weeks in lieu of notice, as permitted by his contract of employment. Even if his statutory notice period of one week under section 86 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was added to his service, as permitted by section 97(2) ERA, he still did not have two years' service for the purposes of section 108 ERA 1996. No remedy was awarded.

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.
