Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It noted that one box ticked on the claim form was unfair dismissal, but section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring such a complaint unless a specific exception applies.
The claimant had been employed for less than two years and the claim form did not provide information showing that any exception might apply. The tribunal also recorded that an earlier order gave the claimant an opportunity to object to strike out, but no acceptable reason was provided. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected and remained listed for final hearing.

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.
