Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Miss M Mawusi had been employed by Suffolk County Council for less than two years, so she did not satisfy the qualifying service requirement in section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for bringing an unfair dismissal claim.
The tribunal noted that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she did not give an acceptable reason. On that basis, the unfair dismissal complaint was struck out.
The judgment also 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.
