Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss C Fletcher brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Carshop. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal decided that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also recorded that she had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore struck out the whole claim.

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.
