Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Miss Z Kerr brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Sarah Radford. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service in order to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.

The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so she was not entitled to pursue the proceedings. It also recorded that she was given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not do so. The claim was therefore struck out.

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.
