Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring such a claim, and that Mr R Wilson had been employed by Anytime Fitness for less than two years.
Because the statutory qualifying period was not met, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but did not provide an acceptable reason.
Accordingly, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The judgment expressly states that the claimant's other complaint was 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.
