Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr A Williams brought a single complaint of unfair dismissal against White Rose UK Ltd. Employment Judge Cadney held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint could be brought, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but no acceptable reason was provided. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the claim without determining the merits of any dismissal complaint.

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.
