Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Miss Ihekwoaba's complaint of unfair dismissal should be struck out. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and that the Claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal also recorded that the Claimant had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal stated that the Claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment, and that the detriment of having been dismissed could still be pursued as an act of discrimination.

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.
