Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Ms E Lowe brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against DXC. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that Ms Lowe had been employed for less than two years.

On that basis, the tribunal concluded that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings. It also recorded that she had failed to give any legally valid reason why the complaint should not be struck out. The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal claim.

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.
