Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed University of Wales Trinity Saint David as a party to the proceedings.
The Tribunal found that Marcus Foster was not continuously employed for two years ending with the effective date of termination. On that basis, his claim of ordinary unfair dismissal, ostensibly by reason of redundancy, was dismissed under s.108(1) Employment Rights Act 1996.
The written judgment states that this decision does not affect the claimant's extant claims against Coleg Ceredigion and Coleg Sir Gar for automatic unfair dismissal and detriment relating to public interest disclosure, and wrongful dismissal.

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.
