Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claimant complained of unfair dismissal. It struck out that complaint because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service and the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years.
The judgment states that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but had not given an acceptable reason. It also states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this 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.
