Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 21 November 2021, the Tribunal gave Ms Kellie an opportunity to make representations on why the unfair dismissal claim should not be struck out because she did not have the necessary two years' service to bring such a claim. The Tribunal recorded that she failed to make representations in writing, or failed to make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal claim. The only reasoning given was the absence of the required two years' service and the claimant's failure to respond sufficiently to the Tribunal's opportunity to address that issue.
The judgment also states that the disability discrimination claim proceeds. No substantive finding is recorded on that claim in this decision, and no remedy is assessed or awarded.

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.
