Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that the claimant complained of unfair dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996. It stated that section 108 of the Act requires not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.

The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring that complaint. The unfair dismissal complaint was struck out, and the judgment stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected.

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.
