Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought the claim as personal representative of the estate of Alan Stankevitch, deceased. The written judgment records that Mr Stankevitch had been employed by the respondent for a period of less than two years.
The tribunal held that, because the qualifying service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was not met, it had no jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal complaint. The complaint was struck out accordingly.

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.
