Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss D Parker brought a single complaint of unfair dismissal against Moss End Farm Kennels. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. On that basis, it held that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings.
The tribunal also noted that the claimant had been given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason. The result was that the unfair dismissal claim was 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.
