Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms S J Hodgson, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Warwickshire College Group. Employment Judge Perry recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service before a claimant can bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that Ms Hodgson had been employed for less than two years. It therefore held that she was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint and struck it out. The reasons also record that she was given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not provide an acceptable reason.
The judgment 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.
