Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By a letter dated 19 March 2020, the Tribunal gave Mr C Murray an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why his unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out. The Tribunal recorded that the issue was that he had been employed for less than two years.

Mr Murray did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment also records that the claimant's remaining breach of contract claim continued.

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.
