Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out Mr B West's unfair dismissal complaint. In a letter dated 20 September 2021, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the complaint should not be struck out because he had not been employed by the respondent for two years or more.

The claimant did not make representations, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Shepherd struck out the unfair dismissal complaint on 2 November 2021.

The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claim was still listed for hearing on 17 January 2022. No remedy was awarded in this judgment.

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.
