Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim. It had written to the claimant on 20 November 2020 and gave him an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The reason identified was that, from the claim form, it appeared the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so the tribunal could not consider the unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant did not make written representations, or did not make sufficient representations, in response to that letter and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was struck out. The judgment states that the remaining disability discrimination claim remained to be considered.

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.
