Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal. It recorded that, by letter dated 24 June 2021, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because he did not appear to have the qualifying two years' service required by section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and there were no exceptional circumstances said to provide an exemption.
The tribunal found that the claimant failed to make written representations, or failed to make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out. The judgment also records that the claimant's remaining claims continue, but no other claim was determined in 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.
