Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr K Mason brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Dustcheck Ltd. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, it concluded that he was not entitled to bring the proceedings. The judgment also records that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason.
The whole claim was therefore struck out. No monetary remedy was awarded or assessed in the judgment.

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.
