Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs J Steadman's only stated complaint was unfair dismissal. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that she had been employed by Just Tankers for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also recorded that she had been given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but had not given 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.
