Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and that Mr N Benatar had been employed for less than two years.
The judgment records that the claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected and would be considered at a case management hearing on 29 January 2021.

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.
