Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant complained of unfair dismissal. His claim form stated that he was employed from 28 January 2022 until 5 January 2024.
The respondent applied to strike out the claim on the basis that the claimant did not have the required two years' service. The tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations and set out the requirement under section 108 ERA 1996.
The tribunal found that the claimant's response did not indicate that any exception to the two-year service requirement applied. It held that it could not hear the unfair dismissal claim, struck it out, and cancelled the listed hearing.

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.
