Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal. It recorded that by letter dated 28 February 2021 it had given the claimant an opportunity to make representations, or to request a hearing, on why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out because the claimant did not have the required two years' service.
The tribunal found that the claimant failed to make written representations, failed to make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, it struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment states that the claimant's remaining claims remained live. No monetary remedy was awarded in 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.
