Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' qualifying service to bring that complaint, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but had failed to do so. The judgment expressly stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
