Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Roseanne Brooks brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Southend Dog Training Limited. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal found that the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal claim. It also recorded that she had been given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but had failed to give an acceptable reason.
The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. It stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment, but no further claims were determined in the decision provided.

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.
