Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr R Thompson, presented a complaint of unfair dismissal against Pgc 365 Ltd. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as the relevant threshold provision, requiring two years' service for an ordinary unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years and therefore did not have the right to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason.
Accordingly, the tribunal struck out the claim and stated that the respondent was not required to respond to it. No monetary remedy was awarded or addressed in the 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.
