Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr S Hussain brought proceedings against Newday Cards Limited and Stacey Waud. In relation to the unfair dismissal complaint, the tribunal found that he had been employed for less than two years. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 therefore prevented him from bringing an unfair dismissal complaint, and the complaint was struck out.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out. It then dealt with the remaining complaints separately, stating that the claimant had not attended the listed hearing on 2 December 2021 and had not provided any reason for that absence, despite being given the opportunity and warned that failure to explain would lead to consideration of strike out.
On that basis, the tribunal struck out all further complaints on the ground that they were not being actively pursued. The extracted text does not identify those further complaints by legal type, and no monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
