Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Miss Chelsea Ruks's unfair dismissal complaint could not proceed because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service, and the claimant had been employed by KRO Hotels Preston for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal found she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment and would proceed to a hearing.

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.
