Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs C Johnson brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against GJ Bargains. The judgment records that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It therefore concluded that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings.
The tribunal also noted that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not give an acceptable reason. The whole claim was accordingly struck out.

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.
