DWD Taverns

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out Mr N Gleadhill's unfair dismissal complaint. It had given him an opportunity by letter dated 9 December 2021 to make representations or request a hearing on whether the complaint should be struck out, because he had not been employed for two years or more and the tribunal therefore could not consider the unfair dismissal claim.

The claimant did not provide a response to the proposal to strike out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment states that this decision did not affect the remainder of the claim, which was to 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.
