Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr K Singleton’s unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years’ service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years.
The claimant argued that the claim should not be struck out because the respondent did not follow its own disciplinary process. The tribunal said that was not a sufficient reason to disapply section 108, and therefore the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out. The judgment also records that the breach of contract claim was unaffected 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.
