Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mrs J Dodd's complaint of unfair dismissal against EDF Energy Ltd. The judgment records that the tribunal wrote to the claimant on 19 April 2022 giving her an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out.
The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required the claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and that she had been employed for less than two years. It also found that she failed to make representations, or failed to make sufficient representations, showing why the complaint should not be struck out. On that basis, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The judgment expressly states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment and remained listed for hearing on 22 November 2022.

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.
