Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the only complaint was unfair dismissal. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that Mr Dixon had been employed for less than two years.
The claimant was given an opportunity by letter of 9 October 2022 to explain why the complaint should not be struck out and to identify any other complaint, but he did not respond. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint and said that, because this was the only complaint in the claim, the entire claim was struck out and brought to an end.

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.
