Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M Thompson, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against the respondent, Asum Shah. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that, despite being given the opportunity, the claimant did not provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out, and the judgment said 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.
