Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint and struck it out. It found that Mrs J Burdek had been employed by First Class Cleaning (UK) Ltd for less than two years, so she did not satisfy the service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for bringing an unfair dismissal claim.
The judgment also records that the claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but no acceptable reason was provided. On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the unfair dismissal complaint could not proceed. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
