Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered whether Mr B French’s unfair dismissal complaint should be struck out because he had insufficient qualifying service to bring such a claim. By a letter dated 16 July 2021, the tribunal invited the claimant to make representations or request a hearing on that issue.
The claimant replied that he wanted the claim to remain open because he had not received warnings under policy. The tribunal said that point may be correct, but it did not explain why he was exempt from the requirement for 2 years’ continuous employment.
The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that other claims would be heard and determined in the usual way.

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.
