Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mrs Rachael Ireson, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Tacho-Fit Ltd. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring at least two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought. It found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so she was not entitled to pursue the unfair dismissal claim.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not do so. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. The judgment expressly 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.
