Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, A Ukachukwu, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Mark Dobson. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It concluded that he was therefore not entitled to bring the proceedings and that he had not given an acceptable reason, despite having the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The claim was accordingly struck out.

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.
