Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs M Holland brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Simon Whitehead Architects Ltd. On 30 June 2022, Employment Judge Ferguson held that the complaint should be struck out because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service and the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not give an acceptable reason. The judgment states that the unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out.
The judge also stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

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.
