Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal under rule 37. The stated reason was that the claimant had less than two years' service, which meant the claim could not proceed on the material before the tribunal.

The tribunal had sent a letter dated 21 February 2020 giving the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the complaint should not be struck out. No response was received, and Employment Judge Martin issued the judgment on 8 July 2020.

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.
