Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr A Till's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the complaint. It also recorded that the claimant had not given an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not 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.
