Mr S Houdoire
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that Mr S Houdoire had been employed by the respondent for less than two years.
Because the claimant was therefore not entitled to bring the complaint, and had not given an acceptable reason when given the opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
