Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Mr Jonathan Owen's complaint of unfair dismissal. It found that he had been employed by Alstom Transport (UK) Ltd for less than two years and that, subject to certain exceptions, section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The Tribunal found that Mr Owen had not provided an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. His other complaints were not affected by this judgment, and no remedy was recorded.

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.
