Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Andrew Skeel's claim for a redundancy payment against Lifecycle Oils Limited (in Administration). Section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' employment for entitlement to a redundancy payment. The tribunal found that Skeel had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and therefore did not have that right.
Skeel was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but the tribunal found that he had not given an acceptable reason. His other complaints were not affected by this judgment. No monetary award 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.
