Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim under rule 37. It had written to the claimant on 30 December 2021 giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because he did not appear to have the two years' continuous employment needed to bring an unfair dismissal claim.

The claimant did not make written representations and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal claim. The judgment states that the remaining claims would continue for the time being.

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.
