Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Brown brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Elite Door and Window Operations Limited. Employment Judge Beyzade recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the complaint. After considering the parties' written representations, and noting that the claimant had been given the opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by the decision. No monetary remedy was awarded or recorded in this judgment.

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.
