Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 17 April 2020, Employment Judge Adkinson struck out Mr R Khan’s unfair dismissal complaint against Leicester Tissue Company. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years’ service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal claim. It also recorded that he failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The judgment states that the claimant’s other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
