Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a single complaint of unfair dismissal against Jabez Wai You Lam. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so she was not entitled to bring the complaint. It also recorded that the claimant had confirmed she had insufficient service. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
As unfair dismissal was the only complaint brought, the tribunal struck out the case as a whole and it did not proceed further.

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.
