Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 17 August 2021, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why her unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out. The stated issue was that she did not have the qualifying two years' service under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and there were no exceptional circumstances identified that would exempt the service requirement.
The claimant did not make written representations, did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claims continue.

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.
