Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Miss A Wator brought a claim of unfair dismissal against JZ Flowers Ltd. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought.

It found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so she was not entitled to bring these proceedings. The tribunal also recorded that she had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but did not give any reason.

Accordingly, the claim was struck out.

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.
