Claimant

Miss N Webster

Respondent

Lindsay Marshall

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal considered only the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. It recorded that Miss N Webster had been employed by Lindsay Marshall for less than two years, and therefore did not satisfy the statutory qualifying period required to bring an unfair dismissal claim under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal also found that the claimant had not given an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The unfair dismissal complaint was accordingly struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
