Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant’s unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years’ service to bring such a complaint, and found that Mrs K Grey had been employed by Lindsay Marshall for less than two years.
Because the statutory qualifying period was not met, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason.
Accordingly, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The judgment states that the claimant’s other complaints were not affected by this decision, and it records no remedy or monetary award.

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.
