Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M McMahon-lssitt, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Gorillas Techologies Ltd. The tribunal recorded 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.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so he was not entitled to pursue the unfair dismissal proceedings. It also noted that he had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not give an acceptable reason.
For those reasons, the tribunal struck out the claim by judgment dated 21 August 2023. No monetary remedy was awarded or assessed.

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.
