Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service and the claimant had been employed for less than two years. The judgment therefore held that he was not entitled to bring that complaint.
The decision did not determine the merits of the remaining complaints. The tribunal recorded that those other claims were not affected by the strike-out judgment and would proceed to a case management hearing in October.

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.
