Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr G Rwekika brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Kier Construction Ltd. Employment Judge Shastri-Hurst recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to present an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It therefore held that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal claim. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but no acceptable reason was provided, so the claim for unfair dismissal was struck out.

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.
