Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningHannah Brock’s complaint of unfair dismissal against the Secretary of State for Justice was struck out.
The tribunal found that Ms Brock had been employed for less than two years. Under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal held that she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also found that she had not given an acceptable reason, despite an opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.
The judgment did not affect the claimant’s other complaints. No remedy was recorded.

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.
