Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs L McDonald brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Coventry and Rugby GP Alliance. The tribunal found that she had been employed for less than two years, and therefore section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 meant she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but she did not give an acceptable reason. The claim was therefore struck out in its entirety by Employment Judge Broughton on 17 February 2021.

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.
