Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr S Ahmed's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service to present an unfair dismissal complaint, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal held that he was not entitled to bring the claim.
The reasons also record that the claimant was given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not do so. The tribunal stated 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.
