Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered a single complaint of unfair dismissal brought by Mr W Windsor against Olympian Security Services Limited. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It therefore concluded that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but failed to give an acceptable reason.
Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal was 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.
