Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Miss L Turner's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that she had been employed by Kent Gurkha Company Ltd for less than two years, and therefore did not satisfy the statutory service requirement in s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996 for bringing an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment also noted that any allegation that the dismissal was an act of discrimination would not form part of an unfair dismissal claim under the Employment Rights Act 1996, but the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

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.
