Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Mr. K F Ng had been employed by EM Recycling (Derbys) Limited for less than two years, and therefore did not satisfy the service requirement for an unfair dismissal claim under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Because the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint, and did not give an acceptable reason when given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, the tribunal struck out that complaint.
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.
