Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Miss I Sherratt, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Performance In People Ltd. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that the claimant had been given the opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but had failed to do so.
The judgment therefore struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal. The tribunal stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by the 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.
