Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service to bring such a complaint, and found that Mr A Ali had been employed by Clearwater Solicitors for less than two years.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had not given an acceptable reason, despite having been given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. It therefore ordered that the unfair dismissal complaint be 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.
