Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs E Mason brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Yorkshire Housing. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to present an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that she was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal proceedings and struck out the claim. It also recorded that the claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given an opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be 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.
