Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint in this judgment. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, the claimant was not entitled to bring the complaint.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but no acceptable reason was provided. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out. The tribunal noted that the claimant's separate complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was not affected by this judgment and would proceed to hearing on 22 May 2023.

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.
