Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr S Gilani, brought a claim of unfair dismissal against De Montfort University. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that Mr Gilani had been employed for less than two years. It therefore concluded that he was not entitled to bring the proceedings and that the claim should be struck out.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but had not done so. The judgment therefore contains no substantive determination of the merits of any dismissal complaint.

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.
