Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningGrzegorz Lapuc's complaint that he was unfairly dismissed by Royal Mail SWDC (Royal Mail, South West Distribution Centre) was struck out.
The Tribunal applied section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, which requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Mr Lapuc had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring that complaint. No remedy was recorded. The claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

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.
