Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim. It had written to the claimant on 26 November 2019 giving her an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out.
The reason given was that the claimant did not have 2 years' continuous employment with the respondent, so the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear a claim of ordinary unfair dismissal. The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The hearing listed for 5 February 2020 was therefore cancelled.

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.
