Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs T Gilmour brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against FCC Recycling UK Ltd. The tribunal dealt with that complaint on the papers and did not make findings on the merits of any dismissal issue.
The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint could be brought. It found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years and therefore was not entitled to present the claim. The complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out. The judgment stated that any other complaints, if any, were not affected by the decision.

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.
