Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. It also found that the claimant's email dated 15 February 2021 did not show that she fell within any exception to the two-year rule. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out and dismissed; the judgment did not affect the claimant's other complaints.

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.
