Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr Tzvetomir Metodiev, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against LSH Automotive Mercedes Benz. Employment Judge Gaskell held that the claim should be struck out because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The judgment records that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not give an acceptable reason. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint on 11 July 2024. The judgment also 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.
