Would a Contract of Employment actually help significantly?Shouldnt you always get a job offer in writing because of this?

I suspect that there would be a short(ish) notice period for a job as a mechanic and a probationary period involved. I guess that it is just about possible that he could claim for unfair dismissal but I doubt that breach of contract would help much.
Do you have anything like e-mails or an offer letter etc...?
Could be worth getting some advice in that case as they still offered you a job whether you've got an official contract or not.
The thing is even if you could argue there was a verbal contract in place, as a new employee they will just let you go. The UK has terrible employee protections.

Well then you've screwed yourself. How long left on notice period?
It wouldn't make any difference if he had a contract. Any compensation you could obtain is almost meaninglessly low.
Having resigned he may not be able to immediately.Time to sign on mate

He didn't have a contract for a job at the new company so he wasn't e.ployed there. He was employed until he resigned voluntarily from the old company.Wasn't he let go?
As in he handed his notice and worked it. Took a 1 week break as new job didn't start for a week. They then phoned him and said sorry we need to let you go we lost a contract.
Therefore his last job ended before it started. he was let go.
also the job centre would never check anyway. all he needs to say is he was let go.
