Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs H Copson brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Busy Bees Nurseries Limited. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The claimant stated that she had been employed from 6 June 2023 to 19 January 2024, which was less than two years. The tribunal found that she was therefore not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant then confirmed that she wished to withdraw the complaint, and the tribunal dismissed that part of the claim.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision. No remedy was awarded in this 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.
