Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. The judgment records that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years.
The judgment states that the claimant had been given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out, but failed to do so. It also records that the claimant's disability discrimination complaints were not affected by this judgment and could still be pursued.

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.
