Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs D Speake brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Synergix Logistics Limited. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also noted that, despite being given the opportunity to do so, she did not provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal claim. No remedy was awarded or quantified in the judgment.

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.
