Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Miss M Hodgkinson, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Lavender Field School. The tribunal recorded that the complaint was the only complaint addressed in the judgment, and noted that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
Applying section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal found that the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also found that she had not given an acceptable reason, despite having the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.
The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. The judgment 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.
