Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal claim. It recorded that, by a letter dated 28 September 2020, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because she appeared to have less than 2 years' continuous service at the effective date of termination.
The judgment states that the claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was struck out under rule 37.
The judgment also records that the hearing listed for 14, 15 and 16 February 2021 would proceed in respect of the claimant's pregnancy discrimination claim. No monetary award was made in this judgment.

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.
