Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss D Rogers brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against The Dogs Butcher Ltd. The tribunal held that she had been employed for less than two years, and therefore did not satisfy the service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for bringing an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain, after the Tribunal's letter dated 12 May 2021, why the complaint should not be struck out. The tribunal found that she failed to give an acceptable reason.
The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

| Unfair dismissal | Struck out because the claimant had less than two years' service, so section 108 ERA 1996 meant she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. The tribunal also noted she did not give an acceptable reason, after being invited to do so following the letter dated 12 May 2021, why the complaint should not be struck out. | Struck out | — | — |

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.
