Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss J Burbridge presented a claim for unfair dismissal against Voyage Care. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, it held that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings. The claimant was also given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal found that she did not give an acceptable reason.
The claim was therefore struck out. No monetary remedy was awarded or recorded in the judgment.

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.
