Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a strike out judgment under rule 37 in relation to the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that, by letter dated 2 June 2020, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because he lacked the necessary two years' service to present an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant did not make any written representations in response. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment does not record any merits findings on dismissal, compensation, or other substantive issues for that claim.
The tribunal noted that the claimant's remaining claims remained listed for hearing on 2 September 2020. No monetary award was made in 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.
