Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr A Sunil Kumar's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring such a claim, and found that the claimant had been employed by Pizza Firezza Limited for less than two years.
The reasons record that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not provide an acceptable reason. On that basis, the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision, and it does not determine any remedy or make any award.

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.
