Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss A Scarrott presented a complaint of unfair dismissal against Montel Civil Engineering Ltd. Employment Judge Britton recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required the claimant to have at least two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that she had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal therefore concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring the complaint. It also noted that, despite being given the opportunity to do so, she did not provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out. The judgment accordingly states that the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out on 15 July 2022.

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.
