Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs L McLaughlin brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Your Housing Group Limited. The tribunal recorded that her employment commenced on 11 February 2019 and ended on 28 February 2020, so she had less than two years' service at the date of termination.
Applying section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal held that she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also noted that she had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not provide an acceptable reason.
The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out. The judgment states 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.
