Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal considered the claimant’s unfair dismissal complaint only. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years’ service to bring such a claim, and found that Miss L Chivanga had been employed by Allica Bank for less than two years.

On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint and struck it out. 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.
