Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Gray, sitting at Bristol on 17 April 2020, struck out Ms W Powell's unfair dismissal complaint against Moordown Conservative Club. The tribunal recorded that the Claimant had less than two years' service with the Respondent, so she did not have the qualifying service required to present an unfair dismissal complaint under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The judgment records that the hearing was conducted by telephone with the parties' consent because a face-to-face hearing was not possible in light of the coronavirus restrictions then in force. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written record states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
