Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. It stated that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, subject to particular circumstances. The judgment records that Mrs Fordham had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal found that the claimant had not given an acceptable reason, and had not identified particular circumstances, to explain why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out. On that basis, the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out.
The judgment adds that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
