Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the claimant's complaint of ordinary unfair dismissal. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service for such a complaint, found that Mr M Shier had been employed by Paul Gray for less than two years, and concluded that he was not entitled to bring the ordinary unfair dismissal claim.
Accordingly, the complaint of ordinary unfair dismissal was struck out. The judgment expressly stated that the claimant's other complaints, including a claim for automatic unfair dismissal, 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.
