Respondent

N H Case Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service to bring such a claim, and found that Mr R Wiatr had been employed by N H Case Limited for less than two years.

The tribunal concluded that he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint and struck that complaint out. It also recorded that the claimant had not given an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. 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.
