Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mrs J Pointon's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed by Wireless Infrastructure Group for less than two years.
The judgment states that the claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out. On that basis, the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out. The judgment also notes that the claimant's disability and money claims would proceed, but it does not determine those claims.

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.
