Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M Dan, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against FAST DESPATCH.CO.UK. Employment Judge Ord recorded that the claim was struck out. The reasons state that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. On that basis, it held that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal proceedings. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not give an acceptable reason.
Accordingly, the tribunal struck out the claim. No monetary award was made.

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.
