Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out Mr C Toaba's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that he had been employed by UK Translogistics Ltd for less than two years. The tribunal also recorded that the claimant did not provide an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the complaint should not be 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.
