Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service to bring that complaint, and found that J Barrett had been employed by The Motorists Organisation Limited for less than two years. On that basis, the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment records that the claimant agreed this part of the claim should be struck out. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment also 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.
