Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 9 January 2020, the tribunal gave Mrs M Murray an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why her unfair dismissal claim should not be struck out because she did not have two years' service. The tribunal recorded that an allegation that the dismissal was because of race was not a basis for removing the two-year qualifying period for unfair dismissal.
The judgment states that Mrs M Murray could still pursue a complaint that her dismissal was an act of race discrimination, but that this was distinct from an unfair dismissal claim. The unfair dismissal claim was therefore struck out under rule 37. The judgment also notes that the hearing fixed for 28 February 2020 would proceed in respect of the claimant's race discrimination claims.

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.
