Tesco Stores Ltd

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal held that the claimant did not have the required period of two years' qualifying service to bring an unfair dismissal claim under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996. It therefore found that it had no jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim.

The tribunal also held that the respondent did not employ the claimant. On that basis, it found that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claims of race discrimination or wrongful dismissal against the respondent.

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.
