Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr A Glover's unfair dismissal complaint against Hattons Transport Limited. 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 the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not provide an acceptable reason. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal 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.
