Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr E Morrow's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service before a claimant can bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that Mr E Morrow had been employed for less than two years.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal found that he did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment records that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by 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.
