Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal considered the Claimant’s unfair dismissal complaints in case numbers 2306615/2024 and 2306616/2024. It found that the Claimant had been employed by the Respondent for less than two years, so the statutory qualifying period in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was not met.

The Tribunal had written to the Claimant on 3 September 2024 giving an opportunity to explain why the complaints should not be struck out. It found that no acceptable reason had been provided. The unfair dismissal complaints were therefore 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.
