Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with Mr Toure's complaint of unfair dismissal. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought, and found that Mr Toure had worked for the respondent for less than two years.
The tribunal recorded that Mr Toure was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not give an acceptable reason. For that reason, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The judgment also 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.
