Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claimant complained, among other things, of unfair dismissal. It applied section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, which requires not less than two years' continuous service to bring an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant had not provided an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why that complaint should not be struck out. The unfair dismissal complaint was struck out, and the judgment stated that the claimant's other claims were not affected.

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.
