Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint should be struck out. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and that Miss L Bagley had been employed by West Midlands Safari Park for less than two years.
The judgment records that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not provide an acceptable reason. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. 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.
