EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4105968/2019 Mr Michael Boyd
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claimant's ET1, submitted on 25 April 2019, proceeded only as a claim for unfair dismissal. On initial consideration, Employment Judge Robinson noted that the claimant did not appear to have the two years' qualifying service needed for a standard unfair dismissal claim, and the Tribunal wrote to ask whether he intended to pursue automatic unfair dismissal and, if so, on what grounds.

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.
