Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a telephone hearing on 20 October 2021 before Employment Judge Smeaton, the Tribunal held that the Claimant did not have two years' qualifying service. On that basis, it found that it had no jurisdiction to hear the ordinary unfair dismissal claim and struck that claim out.
The Claimant's claim for a redundancy payment was dismissed upon withdrawal. The judgment also records that all other claims were to proceed to a final hearing listed for 2 to 4 November 2022.

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.
