Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr F Wyatt, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Boniface Engineering Ltd. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that Mr Wyatt had been employed for less than two years. It therefore concluded that he was not entitled to bring the complaint and struck out the unfair dismissal claim. The judgment also states that the claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The tribunal noted that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

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.
