Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded a claim by Mr P Cooper against Dr John Garden Services Ltd for unfair dismissal under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claim did not proceed to a substantive merits determination because the tribunal found that the Claimant did not have sufficient length of service to bring an unfair dismissal claim under section 108 of the 1996 Act.
The judgment therefore dismissed the unfair dismissal claim on the jurisdictional/service-length point. No remedy was awarded, and the judgment does not record any separate compensation or financial findings.

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.
