Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered only the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint in this judgment. It found that Mr T Fleet had been employed by Robert Usher for less than two years, and therefore did not satisfy the qualifying service required to bring an unfair dismissal complaint under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Because the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal claim, and did not provide an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
