Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Miss S Miteva, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against The Food Group. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
Because the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint, and did not give an acceptable reason why it should not be struck out despite having been given the opportunity to do so, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision and would proceed to a hearing on 25 July 2022.

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.
