Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms E K Wheeler, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Wavertree Hospitality Limited. Employment Judge Daley dealt with the matter on the papers under rule 60 and the judgment records that the hearing was by video link at Watford Employment Tribunal on 12 April 2024.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. On that basis, section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 meant she did not have the qualifying service required to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out because the tribunal had no jurisdiction to consider it. 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.
