Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that unfair dismissal was the only complaint brought, despite an earlier letter referring to other complaints in the claim form. By a letter dated 30 September 2020, the claimant was given an opportunity to make representations on why the complaint should not be struck out because it appeared from her claim that she had been employed for less than two years.
The claimant did not make written representations and did not respond to respondent correspondence asking whether she was still pursuing the claim. The tribunal also noted that she had not contacted the tribunal since presenting the claim on 1 July 2020.
The tribunal was satisfied that the claimant did not have sufficient qualifying service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint and that the claim was not being actively pursued. The claim was struck out and the listed hearing was vacated.

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.
