Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant presented a claim on 1 November 2023 complaining of unfair dismissal against SBFM Limited. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, unless an exception applies, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.

By notice dated 12 December 2023, the claimant was given until 3 January 2024 to provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant gave no response and no reason why the complaint should not be struck out. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim.

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.
