Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 16 December 2020, the tribunal gave Mr A Chowdhury an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on whether his unfair dismissal complaint should be struck out because he had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. The tribunal recorded that he did not make sufficient representations and did not request a hearing.
In its reasons, the tribunal said the claimant's letter of 19 January 2021 did not provide any arguable reason why the unfair dismissal complaint should proceed where he did not have the two years' employment required by section 108(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for the right not to be unfairly dismissed to apply. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out.
The tribunal noted that the claimant's remaining claims would proceed to hearing on the earlier date of 26 July 2021. This judgment did not determine those remaining claims or record any remedy.

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.
