Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs Rehana Khanam brought a claim of unfair dismissal against University College Birmingham. Employment Judge V Othen held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
Because the statutory qualifying period was not met, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings. The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore states that the claim is 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.
