Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Saiqa Hussain's unfair dismissal complaint against Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. It found that she had been employed for less than two years and was not entitled to bring the complaint under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, which requires at least two years' service.
The claimant had provided no reasons why the complaint should not be struck out, despite being given an opportunity to do so. Her other complaints were unaffected and would proceed to the preliminary hearing listed for 29 July 2026. The judgment recorded no monetary award.

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.
