Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and that Mr K Campbell had been employed by J Murphy & Sons Limited for less than two years.
Because the claimant was not entitled to bring the complaint, the tribunal concluded that the unfair dismissal claim could not proceed. It also recorded that the claimant had been given the opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not do so. 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.
