Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought an unfair dismissal complaint, but the tribunal noted that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service. It found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring the proceedings.
Because the claimant did not give an acceptable reason, despite having the opportunity to do so, for why the complaint should not be struck out, the tribunal struck out the claim. The judgment does not record any remedy award.

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.
