Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal amended the respondent's name to Kaplan Essex Ltd and allowed the claim form to be amended to record the dismissal date as 23 July 2021. It also found that the discrepancy between the respondent named on the claim form and the early conciliation certificate was an error by the claimant and that rejecting the claim would not be in the interests of justice.
On the merits, the tribunal found that the claimant's employment began on 14 September 2020. At the effective date of termination, she had not been continuously employed by the respondent for two years. For that reason, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to consider the unfair dismissal claim.
The unfair dismissal claim was therefore dismissed. 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.
