Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs S Warman brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Longthorne Pharmacies Ltd. In this judgment of 3 October 2020, Employment Judge Jones recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
The tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also found that she had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite having been given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The claim was therefore struck out in its entirety, and no monetary award was made.

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.
