Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that, by a letter dated 27 November 2019, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the complaint should not be struck out.
The reason for strike out was that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to present an unfair dismissal complaint. The tribunal found that Ms Hirst had been employed by Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors for less than two years, so she was not entitled to bring the proceedings.
Accordingly, the unfair dismissal claim was struck out and the hearing listed for 27 February 2020 would not take place.

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.
