Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr JS Gilbert brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Quickslide Limited. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
Because the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal proceedings, the tribunal concluded that the claim could not proceed. It also noted that the claimant had been given the opportunity to give an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but had failed to do so. The judgment states that the claim was struck out in full.

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.
