Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service for an unfair dismissal claim unless the claim is one for which no length of service is necessary.

The claimant had been employed for less than two years and had not identified any special category of unfair dismissal claim that would avoid the qualifying period. He was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason.

Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck 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.
