Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs J De Araujo presented a complaint of unfair dismissal against Medacs homecare. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years, so she was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. After the Tribunal wrote on 08 April 2022 and gave her an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, she did not provide an acceptable reason. The claim was therefore struck out.

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.
