Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal claim brought pursuant to sections 95 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that it did not have jurisdiction to hear that claim because the claimant did not have two years' service with the respondent at the time her employment ended.

The judgment states that the claimant's other claims are not affected by this judgment and will proceed to hearing. It does not identify those other claims or decide their merits.

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.
