Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was an unfair dismissal claim brought by Mr R Noble against Sword Group. By letter dated 20 November 2023, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out, because it appeared he was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal claim as he had not been employed by the respondent for two years or more.
The claimant did not make sufficient representations and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The judgment records no monetary remedy and no further substantive findings on liability beyond the strike out 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.
