Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike out judgment on the unfair dismissal complaint only. By letter dated 23 December 2022, the Tribunal gave Mr Harwood an opportunity to make representations, or request a hearing, on why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out because it had no reasonable prospect of success, as he had been employed for less than two years.
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 complaint of unfair dismissal.
The judgment states that the claimant's remaining claims would be considered by the Tribunal. No remedy was awarded in this decision.

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.
