Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Abbott, sitting alone at London South Employment Tribunal on 7 October 2024, struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. The tribunal held that the claim had no reasonable prospects of success because Ms Gallagher did not have at least two years' continuous service before her dismissal and no potentially automatically unfair reason for dismissal had been identified.
On that basis, the tribunal said it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment records that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by 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.
