Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss N Kumalo brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Empathycare 24 Ltd. The case was heard at Cambridge Employment Tribunal on 30 and 31 May 2024 before Employment Judge Hutchings, sitting alone. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim. Its reason was jurisdictional: the tribunal found that the claimant did not have two years' continuous employment with the respondent, so it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim.
The judgment records that the reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested within the applicable time limit. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
