Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing at Reading on 30 August 2019 before Employment Judge Vowles. The only determination recorded was on the claimant's unfair dismissal claim against Screwfix Limited.
The tribunal held that Miss R Harrington did not have the necessary two years' qualifying employment to bring a claim of unfair dismissal under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed.
The judgment does not record any separate remedy assessment, other claims, or lay members. It is limited to the jurisdictional point on qualifying service.

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.
