Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Birmingham on 13 March 2020, before Employment Judge Johnson, dismissed Miss L O’Rourke’s unfair dismissal complaint against Zusi Limited. The reason given was that the claimant had not been continuously employed by the respondent for a period of no less than two years ending with the effective date of termination, contrary to section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and none of the listed exclusions applied.
The judgment states that the other complaints presented in the proceedings, namely disability discrimination, breach of contract and unlawful deduction from wages, were unaffected by this judgment. No remedy was awarded on the unfair dismissal complaint.

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.
