Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs N Purdy’s unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The tribunal found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years’ service to bring such a claim, and that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal held that she was not entitled to pursue an unfair dismissal complaint.
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 judgment states that the claimant’s other complaints were not affected by this decision. No monetary award was made in this judgment.

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.
