Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mrs T Palmer's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal found that she had not given an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore records that the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out, and that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by the 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.
