Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr A O'Gorman's unfair dismissal complaint. By a letter dated 21 June 2022, it gave him an opportunity to make representations, or to request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 generally prevents unfair dismissal claims unless the employee has two years' service or falls within a specific exception. The tribunal recorded that those exceptions did not seem to apply on the claimant's case.
The tribunal found that the claimant failed to make written representations, failed to make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, it struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment also records that the claimant's remaining claim or claims remained listed for hearing on 24 October 2022. No monetary award was made 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.
