Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Dundee on 2 November 2020, Employment Judge I McFatridge considered whether Miss J A Henderson had sufficient qualifying service to bring a claim of unfair dismissal against Melissa McAllister t/a The Empire Bar. The tribunal held that she did have sufficient qualifying service for the purposes of section 94 of the Employment Rights Act, so the unfair dismissal claim could proceed.
This judgment did not determine the merits of the dismissal complaint and did not record any monetary award. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, with the written judgment issued on 4 November 2020 and sent to the parties on 5 November 2020.

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.
