Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs O Hibbert brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Llama Group Limited (in creditors voluntary liquidation). The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she failed to give an acceptable reason. It therefore concluded that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings and struck out the claim.

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.
