Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss T O’Keeffe represented herself at the hearing on 6 February 2020. The respondent, Grampian Café Limited, did not attend. Employment Judge Speker OBE DL heard the matter at North Shields Hearing Centre and gave judgment on 18 February 2020.
The unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed because the claimant did not have the required period of continuous employment to bring such a claim. The judgment does not record any further findings on the merits of dismissal, because the claim failed at the threshold stage.
The tribunal also ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £98.00 in respect of notice pay. The judgment does not separately break that sum down into different heads of loss, and no other monetary award is recorded.

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.
