Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs C White brought complaints including unfair dismissal and redundancy payment claims against Gold Recruitment Limited. The tribunal recorded that she had also complained about a failure to provide a written statement of reasons for dismissal, but the operative judgment only dealt with the unfair dismissal and redundancy payment complaints.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, it held that she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and was not entitled to bring a redundancy payment complaint under section 155 of the same Act.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why those complaints should not be struck out, but she did not provide an acceptable reason. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal and redundancy payment complaints. It stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by 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.
