Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the complaint of unfair dismissal. By a letter dated 16 April 2020, it gave Miss A Wightman an opportunity to make written representations as to why that complaint should not be struck out because she had less than two years' service. No written representations were received.
On that basis, Employment Judge Leach Dare struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claims would proceed, but it does not identify or determine those claims in 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.
