Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal had ordered the Claimant to explain why his unfair dismissal claim should not be struck out, given that he had been employed by the Respondent from 15 August 2019 until dismissal with effect on 11 November 2019 and did not have two years' continuity of service.

The Claimant responded with information about why he considered the dismissal unfair, but did not explain why the unfair dismissal claim could proceed despite the qualifying period requirement under s.108(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The Tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal element as having no reasonable prospect of success.

The judgment expressly stated that the remaining elements of the claim remained and would continue to a Full Merits Hearing.

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.
