Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr P Taylor, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Maslife Ltd. Employment Judge Khan recorded that an unfair dismissal claim requires at least two years' service under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that Mr Taylor was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. The judge also noted that the claimant was given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not do so.
The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. It also stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment, so only the unfair dismissal claim was disposed of in this decision.

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.
