Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Z Blackmore brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Ridge Crest Cleaning Limited. Employment Judge Siddall recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint to be brought. The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so she was not entitled to bring the claim. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but did not give an acceptable reason. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out on 9 July 2019.

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.
