Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with an unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Ms P Shum had been employed by Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for less than two years and therefore did not satisfy the qualifying service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for bringing an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but the tribunal recorded that she failed to provide an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. It also states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this 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.
