Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningRobert Bent's complaint of unfair dismissal against Neilson Financial Services Limited was struck out. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years’ service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason, despite being given an opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. No remedy was recorded, and the judgment stated that the claimant’s other complaints were not affected.

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.
