Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningS Holsgrove's complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out. The University of Salford had employed the claimant for less than two years.
Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but did not give an acceptable reason. The claimant's other complaints were not affected by the judgment, and no monetary award was recorded.

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.
