Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr Daniel Callum's unfair dismissal complaint against Pump Gyms Limited. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that Mr Callum was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that he had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but had not given an acceptable reason.
The judgment therefore dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint by striking it out. It stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by the 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.
