Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr D Shabir, brought an unfair dismissal complaint against Tax Assist Accountants. Employment Judge Harding held that the complaint could not proceed because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought, and the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant was given the opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but none was given. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. 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.
