Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Z Balint brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Rockpecker Ltd. The tribunal found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
Because the claimant was not entitled to bring the claim, the tribunal considered whether there was any acceptable reason why it should not be struck out. It recorded that she was given the opportunity to provide such a reason but did not do so. The judgment therefore states that the whole claim was struck out.

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.
