Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss M Williams brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Venquis. Employment Judge Victoria Butler found 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, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason. On that basis, the tribunal ordered that the claim be struck out.

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.
