Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Iannone brought an unfair dismissal claim against The Red House Welfare & Housing Society. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint could be brought, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to give an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but had not done so. The claim was therefore struck out, and the hearing listed for 15 September 2023 was vacated.

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.
