Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal. It had first given the claimant an opportunity by letter dated 5 September 2022 to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because she did not have sufficient continuous service to bring the claim.

The claimant made written representations, but the tribunal found they were not sufficient to show why the claim should not be struck out and she did not request a hearing. On that basis, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out.

The judgment records that the claimant’s remaining claim or claims remained in place at that stage, but they were subject to a strike out warning by Judge Ryan.

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.
